You could be humble and you could be brave

You could be humble and you could be brave.  You could be frightened yet emerge victorious.  You can do whatsoever you please when you wish to do it.  But you cannot lie to yourself and expect God to agree with you.

Oh yes, we expect God to do many things, but God’s love does not support a lie.  Of what do I speak, my precious ones?  Insecurity.  Remember, your ego personality serves you and not the other way around.  Never, ever was that so!  The dervish would say I sound serious.  Serious I am not.  Loving I am.
