Wayne Dyer
Dear Hearts,
Many times the only way we identify ourselves is through our history. Our history is simply “his story” or “her story”. We keep ourselves locked into the belief system that we are what our stories are.
The stories we identify with are stories that were told to us when we were very small by individuals who were probably retelling a story that was told to them. Often we allow these ancient stories to lock us into to a set pattern of behavior and a certain way of life. It’s as if we put neon signs across our forehead that say “This is who I am, this is what I have always been, and this is the way I will always be”, end of our story. It’s only the end if we allow it to be the end.
It may seem an overwhelming task to change the way we think about ourselves. It may seem that our history stands like a mountain in front of us to steep to scale or that because of our history we may be in such a valley that we feel there is no way we can climb out of it. But nothing is impossible with God.
A beautiful promise has been made to us, “Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed*. We can be made new again… free…free to create a new kind of history…one that reveals the truth about us and allows us to reveal the glory of God through our real story.
Let's affirm together:
Today I release any story of who I was and embrace the new story of who I am, a beloved child of God with infinite possibilities. I accept this for me and mine.
With love and blessings,
Rev. Barbara
*Isaiah 40:4,5
