Faith Over Fear
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and off love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows—light! sunbursts of light!—Isaiah 9:2 (MSG)
Take in the beauty of this time of year—be mindful of the glorious light—and keep it in your heart for times when you feel as if you are walking in the dark. Know that it is because of faith that you can always walk in the light. Because of faith, your light can help others out of their own darkness.
Heavenly Father, help me shine Your glorious light on those around me.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and off love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.—Romans 5:5 (NIV)
