“There is no greater disservice we commit in this life than living within the grips and confines of fear. . . No matter what happens, you cannot lose. If you let go of something or someone that has been divinely ordained for you, it will come back when you are ready to receive it. If you let go of something or someone that has not been divinely ordained for you, you are making room for the Divine to take its place in your life. There is never a good reason to fear that you are wrong or that you are losing. God in you will not deny Itself. It will be fulfilled. . . Fear is the insidious activity of the belief that there is something that God cannot do or does not know. . . Fear is how we act out our loyalty to family patterns that can eventually become the noose around our necks, that ‘hangs us up’ in life.”
