Walking the Passage: No matter what shall fall

No matter what shall fall

High King of Heaven, my victory won, May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Such an interesting phrase to say as we watch such tragedy play out before our eyes and the world stage...

Can we say ... Whatever befall... When all the whatevers of life are staring us down and terrifying to think upon?

There is only one place that empowers us to say we can
Only one place of grace that allows us to see the greatest of sadnesses and horrors and still be able to say whatever befalls... only one place that grants us the perspective and vision ... So be thou my vision... be my sight.. .my strength... my heart.. my mind..... my hands....

be thou my vision because without that... without Him as the keeper of me and my vision I will falter...

He is what keeps my feet solid though all be shaken... He is what empowers me to believe in all that is good in the face of all that would be bad... Him and Him alone....

So whatever befall... Because I set my heart and mind and affections upon Him... The High King... High King of Heaven.... Heart of my own heart.... His heart alive and beating in me.... keeping my heart from faltering and failing at the sight of all that would steal my breath away... Him... being the air I breath and the beat of my heart.... the strength of my life... the possessor of my soul....

So with that I lift up my prayers for all peoples and ask for the Lord to be our vision in all things and at all times...

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.
