Short Writings from Taizé
23. Should We Fear God?
The fear of God:
should this expression, so frequent in the Bible, be dreaded and banished?
No, for if it is well understood,
it reveals itself on the contrary as something precious:
paradoxical and mysterious,
it draws us with delicacy and depth
into the secret of our relation with God.
