Christmas Thoughts - No Fear

The Christmas story starts with angelic visits to Mary and Joseph. To each of them the angel said, "Do not be afraid" (LK 1:30 & MT 1:20). Indeed, it can be scary to have God work in and through your life. I know that experientially. It can put you in places where you do not understand what is going on or how things will work out. People around you (family, friends, and associates) typically understand even less.

Let's embrace this Christmas message: We don't have to give in to fear. We can trust God and His plans. In the chaos of this world, God is working. Let’s join Him without fear.
