Fear is such a wonderful teacher, but we shrink from it in horror. It offers us the chance to surrender to the moment, and allow ourselves to merge into the flow of God's love. Most of the time, though, we fight back, desperately searching for a way out. Trying to control all that happens and steer our way around it by force of will, often deluding ourselves into thinking those things are essential to get what we want or need.
What would happen if we allowed ourselves to enter the "fear zone?" To quit trying to make things happen and allow what we fear to come, if that is what is intended? Will we die? Will we lose all we hold dear? These are, after all, gifts from God, and as we all know, they can be snatched away by Him without warning. No matter what we do.
Who is to say that we will suffer more greatly than we do now, continually running away and refusing to allow life to happen?
