"Christmas Peace"

A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes

“Christmas Peace”

Psalms 4:8

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety……..

Especially at Christmas time I think about peace, peace of mind, peace of soul, peace on earth, peace and comfort, peace, peace, wonderful peace. There is a lightness in the air and lots of love and expectancy everywhere. We have the opportunity to have the heart of a child. How wonderful to be a child again! To be light hearted and feel the love that only comes at Christmas time. It is a time for childlike faith. When we lay our heads down on our pillows at night we want peace and safety. We can have this “Christmas Peace all year, not just at Christmas time. Happiness depends on circumstances---Love, Joy and Peace depends on Christ alone. When God puts grace in our heart He puts gladness, joy and peace in our heart. All shall be made to work for good to us if we keep ourselves in the love of God.

Holy Lord, thank You for sending Your Son to be born into this world. I understand that without Christmas there would be no Easter. No resurrection or life everlasting. Thank you for dieing on the cross for my sins. I love you, Lord.
