I wish fear never visited my mind or heart. But it does. What do you do with it? Perhaps 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? Because there is evidence of a risen Savior working in your life and in our world. He is alive. He isn’t finished.
Yes, at times, we are afraid. But let His joy take lead. You can trust more than you fear.
If you’re feeling fearful today, join the club. May God fill you with joy and confidence in your Savior. “Afraid yet filled with joy!”
–Sandi
