Substitute reverential awe, then.
Regardless, Bible greats
were in FEAR when confronted merely with angels.
The prophet saw The Lord High and Lifted up . . . and concluded he was a man of unclean lips . . .
I am in awe of the fact that I am like a mote between His thumb and fore finger and could snuff me out of existence on a whim. I do not fear that He will do this because He has tought me He loves me.
