What a wonderful devo I received in my inbox today around deep cleaning and laundry...

But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 

 

Luke 1:29-30 (NKJV)

 

"...Briana,

 

Isn't it incredible how far we go in our search for peace? We invest so much, hoping to find relief from stress.

 

All in the relentless pursuit of peace.

 

But that peace is already within reach. Peace took on human form. Christ stepped into our turmoil and gently whispered, "Peace, be still!"

 

Whenever stress threatens to overwhelm me, I find comfort in Mary's story. She was unsettled by the angel's message, yet God didn't abandon her.

He brought her peace."
