The voice of the angels initially caused a lot of consternation in the hearts of Zechariah and Mary. However, as they listened more and more to the message of Gabriel, so they moved to a place of peace. They understood that God's plan was unfolding right in front of their eyes, and that God had invited them to be part of that plan.
Being at peace with God's plan is a great place to be in, but one that often takes time. Here is a lovely prayer that I came across and it fits in with today's message. Enjoy.
Be
people of peace.
Let peace live in your heart and share the peace
of Christ with all you meet.
Share peace by acting out of compassion and not
fear.
Share peace by listening to all sides of the story.
Share peace by praying for our world.
In this Advent season, we need to see, feel, and
share peace.
As you go out into the wonder of God’s creations, share
peace and hope with those you meet. Amen.
May we all seek to be people who share peace.
Living in Grace
