Not “Feel Peaceful” —But “Fear Not.”
When the angels appeared to the shepherds, they didn’t say “Calm down” or “Enjoy the moment.”
✝️ Scripture says the shepherds were terrified—and heaven didn’t scold them for it.
The angels said:
“Do not be afraid.” — Luke 2:10
That's important to know!
God didn’t require the shepherds to feel peaceful before He spoke.
He didn’t wait for their emotions to settle.
He addressed fear first.
🗝️ “Fear not” wasn’t a rebuke—it was an invitation.
An invitation to keep listening.
An invitation to trust God’s presence even while their hearts were racing.
👀 And notice this: the good news and great joy came after fear was acknowledged—not after it disappeared....
Think about that for a sec....
This tells us something powerful:
Peace in God’s Kingdom isn’t something you create first.
It’s something you step into as you trust Him.
So if you love Jesus but still feel afraid, you’re not behind❤️🙏
You’re standing exactly where the shepherds stood.
And heaven is still saying: Fear not. I’m here.
✨ Reflection:
What fear might God be naming—not to shame you, but to draw you closer?
