One who believes in me
will also do the works that I do
and, in fact, will do greater works than these.
—John 14.12
Dear one, I have given you light.
It takes courage to hold the fire,
but courage I have also given you.
Do not be afraid.
I have given you an inextinguishable flame.
People can hurt you,
but they can’t harm the light.
Darkness is powerless against light;
it can’t help but welcome it.
Even in the deepest night love abides.
In the darkness it is me
you hold in your hands, radiant;
and I am also the darkness.
If you are beset, I am with you.
When you are alone, I am in you.
The mystery at the center of your soul
is an eternal flame.
