Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Peace and
joy are a part of God’s plan!
The
mission of Christ was to bring peace to the world. That’s why God sent His Son to earth. Out of His incomprehensible love for
mankind….that’s you and me…He longed to transform our chaotic world into a
world of His peace and love. That’s why Jesus was given the name “Prince of
Peace”. That spoke God’s mission
clearly. Jesus would be The One to serve
as a “blanket of peace” to cover our less than peaceful world.
When
Jesus first appeared on this earth, born of the Virgin Mary and resting in a
lowly manger…He didn’t have the surroundings usually associated with a
prince. But the angels of heaven announced
His arrival with these words: “Glory to God in the highest, and earth peace,
goodwill toward men.” (Luke 2:14)
This tiny baby was God’s plan for
PEACE on earth. It’s our job to allow
Him to cultivate that peace in each of our hearts. We can do that by:
·
Understanding what God’s peace means for us.
·
Asking for and truly desiring His peace with all our heart.
·
And then by DOING the things that open our hearts to accept
it when it arrives. (David Jeremiah, A Life Beyond Amazing)
May we invite the
Prince of Peace to fill us completely with His love, peace and joy.
