To the 150 million orphaned children in the world who will face
this holiday season without a family . . . this is for you.
Do
not be afraid, the
angel said. If there is one thing that
you need to hear first, it is this: Do not be afraid. Although there are many circumstances in your
life that are uncertain, and the unknown future is terrifying, you will not be
able to understand the rest of the message until you let go of fear. God knows that fear, that terrible enemy that
sneaks in and tries to steal your soul, needs to be banished. He knows that fear keeps your fists tightly
clinched, unable to open your hands to receive His gift. The most amazing gift that has ever been
offered.
