"...to love someone whom you also fear, the very essence of sadomasochism"
-- Christopher Hitchens
And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:39–41)
Jesus controls wind and waves. You fear a man like that. . . and when you begin to grasp his majesty, and grace, and love, and his excellency, and his power, and his mercy...you Love him too.
