"Satire" is a word in ENGLISH
Keeness and severity of remark; caustic exposure to
reprobation; trenchant wit; sarcasm.
A composition, generally poetical, holding up vice or folly
to reprobation; a keen or severe exposure of what in public or private
morals deserves rebuke; an invective poem; as, the Satires of Juvenal.
Laying down what we want to protect or are afraid of losing or are terrified we will never have is not the same thing as losing those things. It is surrendering them. It is opening up our clenched hand around them and allowing God access to them and to us. It is actually saying yes to God for them. Yes to his plan. Yes to his way. It is believing that just as his ways are higher than the heavens are above the earth, so his way for the things we fear is higher. This God of ours is a God of life, of goodness. He is the God of the Resurrection. We lay down our fear. We pick up Jesus. He is the only way we can live beyond fear. He is the Way.
