inner child..............


We all carry within us a very wise person, the little child. To hear her call, to question her wants, is to affirm her wisdom, to deepen our roots.
--Margo Casey
Our inner child is helping us grow, understand, and heal. She has walked with us always, though we may not have been aware of her presence. She will be with us forever, even when we fail to remember her presence. Calling on her, we can gain the confidence and insight we need to perform today's tasks and fulfill our dreams for tomorrow.
How lucky we are to have learned of the presence of our inner child. In years past when our struggles overwhelmed us, she was there, but we didn't know how to reach her, how to listen to her. Now we do, and our lives reflect our growing wisdom. They reflect our reliance on her voice, which blends with the voice of our Higher Power to become one unified guide.
We will never again suffer the struggles that tormented our past if we stay open to the spirit-filled message that is always just a quiet moment away. Going within assures us serenity.
I will turn to my inner voice today and know that all will be well if I follow the guidance she offers.

Yes and it's absolutely amazing when we do discover "our true selves" and learn to continually seek her out! Once we begin to listen to our inner child and go within it's like any thing we learn, the more we practice the easier it becomes and it is truly awesome how this practice helps us cope and find our way through many issues as they arise. The enlightenment and contentment that is in us all and can be found is truly rewarding.

Amen.
