"It is an illusion to believe
that you can be for another,
what you have been unwilling to be
first, for yourself.
Kindness, love, joy, strength,
acceptance and honesty
must first be experienced as your own,
something you possess,
before you can give it to another."

- at one point
in my emotional healing process,
the Lord showed me a little girl,
cowering under a desk and crying -
obviously scared to death.
I heard Him ask:" what is your instinct to do for this little girl? "
I answered:
sit down by hercoax her into my arms,hold and comfort herand promise to protect her !'
He said:
"good !that is YOU ... do as you said !"
