This truth is such a beautiful example of the grace AND responsibility afforded us. We have the guaranteed results of love, but we must choose love over fear.
If an angel sat on one shoulder and a horned beast on the other, the choice would be easy. We wouldn’t have to work at being brave and honest. But when we ARE brave and honest, we are rewarded with deep knowing, and deep satisfaction, and deep love. And, that’s as good as it gets.
