What Comes After “Do Not Fear”?

What happens when we keep reading beyond the words “Do not fear”? Again and again, God follows those words with a revelation of His presence and care. He is with us. He hears. He will help.

This short reflection invites us to hear the reassurance within those encounters. As God reveals Himself, our attention turns toward the One who is already with us, and we discover that we can face what frightens us in relationship with Him.
