The REST of the gospel is just that...

resting in HIM. How to do it? I think it's a bit of fatalism, mixed with contentment, peace and joy, embued with LOVE for Father and all that entails. Fatalism in itself is selfishness, but when you KNOW the He loves you so much the resting gets easier and easier and you begin to understand the deeper meaning of His love. There is no fear in love. Fear's end result is punishment. Love's end result is a deeper more abiding peace with God and all those around.

Most of my life has been lived through fear. I am beginning to see when the fear is gone and replaced by intent to love, that my motivations are changed. Instead of trying to get the upper hand because I fear I will be lost in the crowd, I take the path of love and do what needs doing because I love.
