Sometimes my trembling is not a sign of rebellion, but a shadow of faith. Sometimes I give in to my weaknesses. But that does not always mean a desire to escape or slip away. It is not a negation of the Master’s authority. Rather, it is a sign of slight confusion, gentle doubt, and a need for stronger guidance, greater firmness, or a "shortening of the leash". My trembling is sometimes a quiet request directed to the Master: for correction, for an indication of direction, for a stronger emphasis of his authority.
If punishment is necessary – let it be wise. If pain is necessary – let it make me better. So that the crying is not meaningless, but the tears are an expression of gratitude for attention, time, and guidance.
