I quote:
“Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
“Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,"
end quote
In our troubling times fear manifests its presence in our lives as if to say, I am in command of your life. The faithful child of The Father rejects any notion that we should surrender our life into the arms of fear, knowing that the birth of The Saviour into our life rescues us from our self imposed descent into darkness.
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
~ 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
