Marianne WilliamsonIf a train doesnโt stop at your station, itโs simply because itโs not your train. Donโt try to flag down the conductor and convince them to stop there, even if their own map says that they should just keep going. You may not realize it, but thereโs another train trying to come toward you, unable to get into your station because a train that doesnโt even belong there is being delayed there by your intensity.

Marianne WilliamsonIf our prayer is โDear God, please use me to be of service,โ then that is what we will be. And it is not for us to judge either the size or value of our gifts. Our job is to try to get out of the way, to defer to the spirit moving within us and become open channels for the flow of Godโs love.
