“Come, Abide with Me.”
God said:
You are on a rung of a ladder. You may hesitate to go higher. No matter how much you may ask Me to propel you higher, you may pull back. Why? If you let go of all your attachment to boundaries, perhaps you wonder what you might open yourself to then.
What might you have to give up, and what might this perceived loss take away from you? What if it costs you plenty, and you find yourself without any recourse?
Once truly unbounded, you are unbounded forever, and there is no going back. You won’t want to.
It’s true you are accustomed to fear. Sure, your fears concern the surface level of Life, yet without all your fears, what then would be left of you? Absence of fear might carry its own disappointments, and you are fearful of disbanding fear.
What if later on, you want back the full entertainment of Life on Earth? What if the borders of Life that are so familiar to you — what if they really do keep you safe? You may wish to let go at the same time you are fearful to. Meanwhile, you go back and forth.
Beloveds, the decision to hold fear close to you is yours, of course. You are uncomfortable with your fear thoughts in the world, yet, at least, you can say that they are your own.
