God wants us to meet and be with Him, not just to experience Him. As Joseph discovered, God is with us even when our situation is severe and seems impossible.

About this series: Angels play a central role in the Christmas story, delivering the good news of great joy foretold by Isaiah: “Unto us, a child is born.” While their messages were directed to Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds, they are also meant for us today. This season, the joy of Christmas comes alive as we reflect on the wonder of what has been given “unto us.”
