I am fed up with the "to be in fear is to be apart from God" lecture.
Poeple who speak this garb, are totally ignorant but innocently so.
I heard this yet again, at mass on Saturday night, being Pentecost time and everything.
Well, I truly know God to be right there at my side, in the darkest of fears.
He puts the resources in my path, He has put people in my life that give me hope, He is constantly tugging at me, to reach out to others. He is my daily companion. I dont always get what I pray for, maybe I do, its just not comprehensible in this life.
If the first sentence held any true content, I would have fell away so long ago.
Selfishly so, my return back to God was partially despair and fear.
I am not angry, just bothered.
