God does not stay at a distance from us but constantly seeks to transform our lives by asking us to awaken to the divine presence. -- Theologian Serene Jones
I learned long ago that nothing turns me to God faster than fear. This is easy to forget when fear is riding herd...and that, too, is God's will, God's way.
Fear cannot be swallowed. ignored or dismissed. It is allowed to live in us for us to realize that fear is another of God's tools bringing us home to Him.
It is my fear that is riding me now. Fear it is that God is using to transform me by awakening me to His presence.
To laugh in the face of fear is to not understand the situation. To fall to our knees and pray thank You in the face of fear is God in our life.
To ponder: Maybe fear is God in divine disguise to turn us to the grace of God.
Thank you.
