In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary ... The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God ... For nothing will be impossible with God." -1 Luke 1: 26-56
Zechariah freaked out when the otherworldly creature appeared to him. But Mary was simply "perplexed." Why would such an incredible message come to a common girl, just barely a woman? Then her reply to such a foretelling about her purple in life was also simple: "Let it be so." Have you ever struggled with finding your purpose and being at peace with it? Or are you yearning for more peace in your life and relationships? #morepeace in the world happens when all of us feel #morepeace within ourselves and live out that message each day.
