Walking the Passage: Behold you are a new creation ... the old HAS gone... the new HAS come forth

Behold you are a new creation ... the old HAS gone... the new HAS come forth

There are places I enter where the only thing I am is a daughter.... where there is nothing required of me and nothing for me to do except to stand as your daughter.... It is the place where I am the most "me" that I am... It is the place that I will live forever and there are moments and occasions when even now upon the earthen soil I walk in a form of it that feels like fullness......

When I release unto the winds any self protective notions and stand in their gusts solely and without reservation as His and His alone I am the reality of all that He ever intentioned for me to be .... I have felt the reality of that place upon my being and within the depths of all I am and in that place there is not one thing but Him that touches me...... There is not one thing that defines me that is other than Him and His love.... In that place there is so much freedom and confidence... a joy so solid and impenetrable.... I have tasted that place and have journeyed there and sit in those moments and allow them to wash over me more and more....

The danger of knowing of such an existence is that all else falls short and truly the things of this world grow oh so strangely dim..... because the things of this world are obliterated in that reality... and the thoughts and opinions ... the accolades and detractions of man well .. Ha Ha Ha.... they fall to the ground as naught when against the passions of the Father they try to make their mentions....... The danger of knowing of such a reality causes the flavor of all else to be bland at best and the danger of knowing of such a reality is that you are ruined... you are ruined for anything else but Him

..... it is a danger and a delight.. and there is truly no going back... Your soul will rage... the flesh will cry out but the spirit will be strong and lead and yearn to live in that place and then again you will be ruined .... because you will see only with His eyes... and hear only with His ears and listen only with His heart... and your Heart will beat with the things that cause His heart to beat... and you will stand ....

Behold you are a new creation .... the old has gone... the new has come forth........

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
