    Mrs. Beulah Ponniah
ponniah   Luke 2: 13,14. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host prasing God and saying:

Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace,
Goodwill toward men”.
           
  Jesus brought us good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. He is the author of Peace. (I Corinthians 14:33). Jesus is our Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Peace is one of the fruit of the Spirit. Peace is the fruit of the righteous (James 3:18)  
     
  In our daily life we are facing many problems. Sickness, poverty, debt, failures lead us to untold suffering and agony. Many were lost their beloved ones. Many were committed suicide since they have no hope at all.  
     
  Some are in Christmas cleaning their houses, decorating their homes, buying new clothes, some are very busy to make sweets day and night, they will do hard work because of that they will lose their strength. At last they will lose their joy, happiness and peace and without peace it is no use to celebrate Christmas.  
     
  Jesus came to this world to give us Peace. Whatever things we had lost in our life, He will give us His grace in this season.  
  Have you lost your children’s peace? Have you lost your peace with your husband or wife?  
     
  In a particular family, the husband and wife were fighting at all times. The neighbours and relatives were tired of this. So, all the people began to hate them. Yet the couples were fighting and abusing each other continually. Both were complaining each other to the church Pastor. But the Pastor gave good counsel and prayed sincerely. God touched the heart of the wife and filled with divine peace. The whole family members were very happy . Then they celebrated a meaningful Christmas with Peace  
     
  In the Bible, there is a woman called Hannah and she had no children so her heart was broken. She was a woman of sorrow. But she went to the temple of God and poured out her heart at the Lord’s feet. She got Peace from God (I Samuel 1:17). God gave her a son named Samuel and he was a prophet. Yes! Our God of Peace gives us peace through Jesus Christ. Have you los your peace in your life? Have you lost anything in your life? I this Christmas season God will do a great miracle in your life. Luke 19:10 says, for the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost”.  
     
  Twenty three years ago a boy went away from home at his age of eleven. His parents were very faithful to God. The mother of the boy did not afraid for anything. His father was working in abroad. Mother fast and prayed and his father was very quiet and consoled himself with the Word of God. After the fifth day a miracle took place in their life. The lost son came to his house with tears. He was weak in his studies. So, he went away from home to do God’s ministry. But, his mother and father suffered a lot with their son. By the grace of God today the boy is doing God’s ministry with his wife and two children. Glory to God.  
     
  Yes! Our God of peace will give us great peace with our children. When we seek the Lord fervently and faithfully. In the midst of sorrow, suffering, trials, temptations, insult and humiliation, God will fill us with His strength and His peace and happiness. (Ps.138:3).  
     
  Yes! My dear Sister, Mother, do you want this peace in this Christmas season? Seek His kingdom first, for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.  
     
  Jesus will give you divine peace. He was born before 2000 years ago. Still His birth is giving peace to all. May our God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus! May the Lord Bless you to have a peaceful Christmas!
