Afraid, Yet Filled With Joy

Afraid, Yet Filled With Joy

 “Afraid, yet filled with joy.” Does that sound familiar? I wish fear never visited my mind or heart. But it does. What do you do with it? You don’t let it rob you of your joy.

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

We may not understand everything that we see. But there is evidence of a risen Savior working in our lives and world. He is alive. He isn’t finished. And, at times, we are afraid. What do you? You let His joy take lead. Continue to trust. Continue to tell people about Him. 

You can have a tinge of fear and still be filled with joy. – Sandi
