"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."
by Renee Nelms Pope
- 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.
He said:
" what is your instinct
to do for this little girl? "
i said,
'crouch down beside her
coax her into my arms,
hold and comfort her
and promise to protect her !'
He said:
"good - that is YOU -
do as you have said !"
