I got to the past, present and future part and made a connection I've not made before. First off, though, is a little background: I've come to realize that reality is all about love vs fear. Living in love vs living in fear. Living in love is desiring union, nearness, closeness... doing/thinking anything that brings "oneness". Fear is the opposite - separation, distancing, judging.... anything that pulls apart, that separates.
So, thinking about the past or future is separation, fear driven. Living in fear. Being in the present is love driven. Being in the moment vs being out of the moment.
This is a non-religious, way of seeing ( I could say " looking at " , but that connotes separation, fear driven ) things which doesn't contradict anything in the article. We just have different ways of saying the same thing. The result, desired result, being the same.
We live in a duality reality on Planet Dystopia due to our living in fear. Imagine what it could be like if we lived in Love instead. As Jesus and Paul said/wrote: The kingdom of Heaven is within us not out there somewhere. Bingo.
When we fear the government there is tyranny. If we fear God Himself, is not that tyranny also? He sent His son to pay the price and to wipe away all of my fear. ALL of it. I am the prodigal son. Every one on this planet represents the prodigal son. It's just a matter of when will we come back to our senses and realize who's to blame. And then we need to remember all the good things that were ours with just His name. And don't waste another thought before we change the way were bound because He will be running out to meet us if we will only turn around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgO3Wc0X6tY
When I married my current wife, it was a church deal, not really legal. She is a Christian and wanted a church wedding. So, the pastor went through the coming ceremony and mentioned " fear of God " as part of it. I turned to him and asked if he'd please leave that part out. He agreed. As you write, God loves us. Period. After all, if God is consciousness, for example, then we are a part of consciousness and so a part of God. Of course he, she, it loves us. LOL.... I'm reminded of the poem, The Hound of Heaven for some reason. I suppose it's from your last sentence. It's not just a turning around, one has to stop running away first. LOL.....
That is also a major point of Brent's teaching. And you are EXACTLY correct. We can't really love if we are in fear of the object we claim to love. If the fear is gone, it becomes a SIMPLE GOD LOVES ME!!! How can I really fear the one that this story is about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgO3Wc0X6tY His love shined through to me when I cried out to HIM for help. He has been showing me love like I've never felt in my life before since that day. I've shed more tears of happiness in these last four months than I had in 70 years before. My wife is almost in shock. She said she sure can tell something emotional has been happening to me. It had to be one of the reasons I was lead to Brent's writings. A lion isn't too fearful, and since I really had no fear of Him, I just needed to realize that His love for me is what had driven out the fear when I was literally a 14 year old in junior high school. I'll say it again..and you should too. Say it to yourself right now. GOD LOVES ME!
Yeah, and she also thinks we come back as plants or bugs or whatever. I’m pretty skeptical about her. I’d want her to see what previous lives I’ve lived and where. Was I a puss or a Courageous Lion previous.

I don't get this " Fear of God business ? "

Thank you.
I LOVE that picture! I have a large signed limited edition. Greg Olsen has a lot of beautiful art.
I WILL buy, beg, or steal (well, not likely) these books.
According to Dolores Cannon, Jesus was always with a crowd of Woman !!!!
