Christ's Peace at Christmas – Receive It

The chaos we encounter during the holidays often comes from within ourselves, wrapped up in expectations that are out of bounds for what actually needs to be achieved. Chaos and joy are not easily blended. Reevaluating what I expect and what others expect is a process of separating truth from fantasy. What I can be in reality now must be accepted.

Jesus is God’s gift of peace even as we live with chaos and troubles. Jesus said, “I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give.” What we can do now is open our hearts completely to receive this precious gift. God bless you and Merry Christmas.

I leave behind with you – peace; I give you my own peace, and my gift is nothing like the peace of this world. You must not be distressed, and you must not be daunted.

~John 14:27 Phillips – New Testament in Modern English

 Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

~Philippians 4:7 Contemporary English Version
