FEAR NOT
In these times, there is plenty to be afraid
of, if we only look around. It seems that
every day the news media have yet more bad
news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism,
drought, social unrest, and more. Some people
have stopped using clock radios to wake up in
the morning, preferring a jarring buzzer to
the even more jarring morning news. What
more do we need before we realize that we
are finite creatures, and while there is much
we can do to make our world better, ultimately there is a lot that is simply not within
our grasp? To this our loving God says, “Be
strong, fear not!”
We must do what we can to make our world a
better and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and that our ultimate safety is
in the hands of God. We can be comforted by
the realization that God loves us beyond
measure, and will give us every help in our
efforts to make our world a loving and safe
place for everyone.

Please place your donated item in the rocker. Anything will be deeply appreciated by the
many women who visit Birthright. Your gift may save a life.
