Becoming what you are

These have been real words of encouragement for me lately. It is taken from The Sources of Taize.

Fulfillment?
Are you hesitating over a choice for fear of making a mistake?

Stop summoning your own darkness to cover your refusal. Happy are those who tent their hands from their eyes and dare to go forward, sustained solely by the trusting of faith.

Fulfillment?
Become what you are in your heart of hearts...
and the gates of a spirit of childhood will open, the wonder of a love.

A fountain of gladness surges up for you. Not euphoria, not just any kind of joy, but the jubilation that comes form the wellsprings of eternity.
