God’s law in operation
In the spring of 2000, my husband and I had moved from the West Coast of the US to a big city on the East Coast because of a job I had accepted. Neither of us had lived in a climate with snow for many years. One thing I had promised myself was that I would not try to compare one coast to the other. I knew that God, good, was everywhere, and if I tried to compare, I would miss the beauty and goodness in this new adventure.
As the autumn came, I was in awe. The colors of the trees were so varied and magnificent—not one tree the same as another. I was so grateful to be experiencing the beauty all around us.
Then, as winter approached, I faced many fears. We walked to work, and I wondered if I would be able to stand the high, freezing winds as I walked. What if I slipped on the icy sidewalk and fell? And would our car be snowed in if we needed to drive to work? I looked to God for freedom from these fears, and each time I prayed, a wonderful sense of peace came over me, so I could again see and enjoy the beauty and goodness right where I was. Looking back later, I realized that God, who is infinite, doesn’t know fear. He was showing me that His love and care fill all space, so there is no place where fear could be. I was safe in divine Love.
