Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

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

And as we let our own 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.
