God is bigger than any limited circumstance in our past; God is bigger than any limitation that the world is showing us now. Limitations exist only as a challenge to us to mature spiritually, as we realize that through the grace of God we are bigger than they are.

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment—or unlearning—of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.

Today I pray for a miracle. I shall allow it to happen, and not resist it. I am open to a new beginning, a life unlike the past. My relationships shall be made new. My career shall be made new. My body shall be made new, and my mind shall be made new. Not later but now, not elsewhere but here, not through pain but through peace. And so be it.

People who are always telling us what’s wrong with us don’t help us so much as they paralyze us with shame and guilt.
