Video script:
This is a word for all of us in Advent.
In a season of waiting,
we are not asked to suppress fear
but to face it.
To ask:
How does fear live in me?
What voices has it amplified?
What longings has it silenced?
[. . .]
Advent invites us not simply to “be not afraid,”
but to act with love in the midst of fear.
Not to fix everything,
but to show up with courage.
[. . .]
Let us believe, with trembling hope,
that fear does not have the last word.
Because fear doesn’t stop us.
Love leads us forward.
Words by Rev. Dr. Boyung Lee, our guest writer for the Advent series
