The Christmas season is often thought of as a time of peace and good will. While we may hear message of peace during this time, we are called to be peacemakers beyond the Christmas season. As followers of God, we need to show others His love and peace!
God is a peaceful God and He wants us to live in peace. This doesn't mean that we compromise the laws and lessons that God has taught us. Instead, it means we begin with the promises of God, our redemption through His Son, and the plans He has for our lives. We can live in and share God's peace. Peace may begin in this season with the gift of our Savior Jesus Christ, but it should remain with us throughout the year!
Trust in God, accept the gift of Jesus Christ as your Savior, and be a peacemaker all year long!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the gift of Your Son. Help me to live in Your peace and to be a peacemaker by sharing Your peace with others. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
