God is either everything or God is not...if God is not everything, then what's the benefit of God being almost?
What part of the rest of almost is ours? When do we toss in the towel, because that part isn't ours, and when do we run full tilt at windmills because that part may be ours?
If our worst fear is looming on the horizon...or only seems to be...what difference? If it is or only may be, our fear is already driving us into the mental abyss of "all alone."
If it arrives, if our worst fear comes true, our fear has already immobilized us, so we're useless for either flight or fight. Paralyzed by our own fear, we can't help ourself and aren't even open to the possibility of divine aid.
If our fear is going to take us over anyhow, why not welcome it? See it, resist it not, welcome it with our thank you...which lightens our outlook and invites the grace of God to enter. Ah, there. By grace and by God we can walk forward, not unstressed but peaced for sure.
With peace as our partner, we feel unburdened. We let go and let God.
Thank you.
