A Mother Teresa quote states: “Today it is very fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.”

I take the quote into myself and understand I might not want to face the poor thoughts,

the weaknesses or inadequacies I might feel. These thoughts and feelings are not overabundant.

Nevertheless they can sap my energy and cause inner self esteem problems.

Hence, I open to prayer’s power and clarity, acceptance and peace–

Allowing myself to feel one with divine Spirit inside my heart, mind,

emotions and physical being.

 

In the company of divine love and gracious unconditional acceptance

I befriend my weakest links–in the light of a resilience that can hold both

my weaknesses and greatness.

 

In prayerful thought and quiet I am reminded there is strength in weakness

and vulnerability in strength. Further, I realize I have been given gifts, abilities,

and special talents along with qualities needing my love, acceptance and

energy of support and development.

 

In the sureness of genuine acceptance from the wholeness within me,

I understand clearly weaknesses are aspects of myself still growing.

Now I have a reckoning, the more I open to the potency of Divinity

and shine it on every bit of me, all qualities flourish even the weakest.

I feel relieved–there is serenity in being fully allowed to be my total self

and to love each part of me the developed and the areas expanding

in the warmth of nurturance and the thrill of knowing more and more

of my true nature.

 

I am accepted and acceptable, giving attention to each part making up

the whole magnificence of my inherent spiritually rooted expression:

I accept the weaker for therein is great strength willing to be embraced.

Thank you companion divine Presence,

showing me the way of healthy mindedness

and wealth of self-acceptability and inner fortitude, Amen
