“That Is All I Ask Hold my trembling hand I am now ailing Do not let me fall Indeed, I am weak When I struggle to see afar Show me the way If I sometimes cry Wipe the tears on my cheeks Whilst words skip my lips Hear my voice as I whisper; “It is me! It is me! Please help me out.” For I am no longer young But old enough Would you take care of me? I require you to be there Like a child needs a parent Stand by me, time and again That is all I ask”

“I was graced with this remarkable truth: “Knowing who you are in Jesus Christ makes it easier to function in this world.” I soon realized I didn't know who I was in Jesus Christ. Not only did I not know my identity in Jesus Christ, but I also realized that I didn't know my Saviour enough to know myself. It's like, how can I know who I am if I don't know who He is?”

“Every experience of spiritual awakening strengthens our sense of self. As we continue to evolve spiritually, and especially once we cross the threshold of Enlightenment, each of us spontaneously lives with a sense of self that is constant, dependable, and true.”

“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.”
