Safety from Harm

The overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry.
  From where?  For what?  I don't know.
  But the sorrow is deep, so very deep.

'You cling to your sorrow like a child
  grasping the hem of her mother's dress.
  So frightened are you to let go, to feel Me.'

'I yearn for security, feel desperately the need
  for safety from harm.  If I release my grip,
  I step into harm's way. I will be hurt!'

'The security you grasp for is an illusion.
  You misconstrue familiarity with security.
  You are holding onto old pain, sorrow, fear.'

Seeking wisdom, I listen to the words of Spirit,
  Negotiating, 'OK, if I let go my hold on fear,
  I fall into the safety of your arms, right?

I imagine letting loose my grip on the 'old',
  I see myself, safe and secure in God's arms.
  I feel ready at last to release my hold on fear.

'My child, it is not about moving from one notion
  of safety to another.  That logic allows fear to
  preserve its rule over your heart and mind.'

'It is about letting go of the fear, totally.
  It is about stepping into your future
  without a script written by fear.'

'Only then can you experience the splendor
  of this Spirit walk,the magnificence of Creation,
  and the wisdom you have sought these many years.'

'Step into your future, the unknown, without the
  the incessant search for safety from harm.
  There is no harm, no need for security.'

'Step out of the illusion and into Me.'
