“The experience of being the beloved child of the almighty, eternal, infinite Abba introduces a holy awe to the cry, ‘Abba, I belong to you.’ The great psychic enslavement of fear gradually recedes when confronted with the greatness of God’s love and compassion. Questions, speculations, and complaints at the absurdity of life, the random accidents and illnesses, the dark nights of the soul...and even the last rag we cling to… all seem inappropriate in the presence of infinite Goodness. Trust escalates not because God has offered proof, but because God has shown his face.”
