In celebration of My birth, you can join the multitude of angels that proclaimed “Glory to God in the highest,” and echo their prayer for peace on earth and goodwill toward men (Luke 2:13–14 NKJV). Just as I taught My first disciples, you can pray for My kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). In My kingdom there will be no more war, oppression, injustice, poverty or hopelessness, for I am the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
I have said that the peacemakers will be blessed, for they will be called the children of God and they will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:3–9). You can be a peacemaker and do your part to bring My peace to the world today—no matter what conditions surround you. You can bring true peace by imparting My love and compassion to others through kind words and caring actions.
This Christmas, you can share the gift of My peace with others and bring My hope, joy and eternal love into their lives. Never think that you can’t make a difference in the world. Even one man or woman empowered by My love can be an instrument of My peace to others. You can bring change to your part of the world—your unique sphere of influence in your home, community and workplace—by pointing people to My lasting peace and eternal salvation.
