Terrifying: Highly frightening, creating great fear, extremely scary
Grace: the gift given without regard to merit or performance, but given in proportion to humility
As God reveals Himself to each of us, we learn more about His character, His commitiment to us, and His calling for us. As each of these "C's" is unveiled, we see a larger and larger obligation on our shoulders to receive fully all that He has offered. Or we see a larger and larger threat to our very existance as independent, idiosyncratic, sole kings of our own little world.
If obligation, we pursue that unveiling. If threat, we run.
It is God's amazing essence to be at once amazing love and consuming fire.
I actually pursue at times, and run at other times. Lord, help me to quit running!!
