I wish fear never visited my mind or heart. But it does. If you can relate, what do you do with fear? Maybe you just keep walking. Joy in one hand and fear in the other.
Two women went to visit Jesus’ tomb. They didn’t expect to find it empty. They were confused and afraid.
“So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell the disciples.” Matthew 28: 8
Did you catch that? They were both afraid and filled with joy.
What if you can carry both? There is a risen Savior working in your life and in our world. He is alive. He isn’t finished.
And we also face really difficult, scary things, at times. And fear is real.
What if you can carry both? And what if fear doesn’t have to take the lead? What if you can trust God and be filled with more joy than fear?
If you’re feeling fearful today, you’re not alone. May God fill you with joy and confidence in your Savior. “Afraid yet filled with joy!” – Sandi
