40 Days of Lent – From Release to Embrace
Rule 17
“The whole universe is contained within a single human being — you. Everything that you see around, including the things that you might not be fond of and even the people you despise or abhor, is present within you in varying degrees. Therefore, do not look for Sheitan [“Devil” in Arabic] outside yourself, either. The devil is not an extraordinary force that attacks from without. It is an ordinary voice within, if you set to know yourself fully, facing with honesty and hardness.“*
Listen to the Rule on YOUTUBE:
Today, we are releasing Change and embracing God’s Love for us.
Our Lent Booklet reminds us today that change is a natural part of life. The fear that seems to accompany change is due to uncertainty. As we look back we can recognize that we have always been in a state of change. Our life have been one change after another. We acknowledge the fear but we also acknowledge the fact that we have overcome many changes and we have the necessary strength and courage to face another change.
Today, I invite you to contemplate on Rule No17 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing fear of change worked for you today.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Today we affirm: This is my day. I am courageous and trust my inner power.
