Pardoned
In
Him

His
Peace
Is our Peace
Peace with God,
Our Peace on earth
Christ, our highest glory. Glory to God in the Highest.
Go out in joy and be led forth in Peace. Sing!
His righteousness is our peace and joy.
The mountains and hills will
Burst into song before
You. The trees of the field
Will clap their hands in praise.
Praise Him, turn your weeping into song
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given.
…
“And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Daily On My Way to Heaven 
Petra,
Your devotional was very creative to say the least. I just loved the section, “For He Himself is our Peace Who saves, not by bow, sword or battle, but by His own body, given freely…” I am thankful, but sorry too that my sin would put Him on the Cross.
The entire piece is absolutely beautiful and some sections would make for really nice greeting cards.
Merry Christmas,
Christina Lum

The more we know Him….the more our greatest desire to esteem the worth of God. Throughout all eternity- we will be on a wild passionate pursuit of knowing God. But whats so wonderful in John 17-we are told that we start that now! For this is eternal life…know Him!

Thank you so much, Becky, for hosting this beautiful Advent series, and for asking me to be a part of it! I am also very grateful for all the encouraging comments. You may never know how much that means to me. I appreciate every one of you very much!
One very dear to me asked me why it was so long, if I just couldn't stop, lol! I have to admit, it is long and it was hard to stop. I also know that if I had kept it a few more days, I probably would have shrunk it. But, I was brave and sent it off. That's why your support is so awesome. To God be the glory, great things He always does!!
God’s richest grace on you all!
