that's a very nice one.

yes, that's the "magic" of christianity. it frees you of fear. it lets you get past the panic at the grey and then you can put actual concepts into that spot, and become equanimous towards it. it is what it is, is what you get to when you pass through that fear.

and central to that is the idea that only the master of this universe really has the power to hurt you. He *is* the universe but he is not any one part of it, he is all of it. so you should not bow in fear (or admiration) towards anything you see in this universe. when the reckoning comes at the end, He is the only judge and thus only He should be feared.

this doesn't mean take meaningless risks, it means listen to the voice, seek the answer, and have faith that you were prompted to find it with good intentions and mercy.
