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)
AS CHRISTMAS APPROACHES, recognize magical moments when someone or something touches your heart with the glorious spark of God’s love. Perhaps it’s the stillness of a snowy winter night that awakens your knowing of His presence, or an unexpected kindness, just when you need it. Be open to receiving His love this season.
Heavenly Father, help me to be mindful and see each and every one of Your precious gifts.

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)

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.—Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)

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)
