"'Twas God that taught my heart to fear, and God my fears released." That's my memory of a line from "Amazing Grace," which might not be letter-for-letter correct, but the sense of it is.
That's probably my favorite line in that song because it gives me permission to feel fear...and not to feel responsible for breaking free from it...God's job, all of it.
All of life...God's job. Doesn't that make you feel like singing? It does me anyhow...Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty I'm free at last.
The only caveat, of course, is the need to remember that. Not mine, busy mind; not mine, attack thoughts; not mine, good old Gertrude and poor pitiful Hector...nor mine, but God's.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of my grateful heart, I thank you.
