Abiding in Jesus' love, resting in God, we can overcome those things which wear us out, make us anxious and fearful, etc.

The God of the universe humbled himself by becoming human for our sake - not because we are universally significant, but because we are loved by him.

People often choose Darkness over Light out of a desire for power...which can lead to hurtful acts. This desire can be an outgrowth of fear. Choosing weakness over power and darkness can allow us to put faith in God.

Following Jesus requires sacrifice...just like any profession. We need to practice our faith to become disciples of Jesus.
