"Fear not,: for I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." These were the words spoken by the angel who appeared to the shepherds while they were watching their flocks in the field by night.
At first the shepherds were fearful, but when they heard the rest of the story, they were filled with joy. We can identify with the feelings of the shepherds because we experience these feelings throughout our lives. Fear can come upon us when we first go through a horrific trial such as sickness or the death of a loved one. However, I want you to rest in the assurance that the rest of the story is good.
I want to help you have an eternal perspective in life similar to the one that My servant Paul had. He considered the afflictions that he suffered in the moment as light because those trials were working for him a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. During this season and every season, allow Me to fill your mind and heart with My eternal perspective. When you have this perspective, you will be able to rejoice in the midst of trials.
