On Peace and Goodwill

Donna and Betty were sisters, but in midlife they were both tired of the fighting and the mistrust and the hurt. Each had their grievances. Both were stubborn.

Luke 2:14 says, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!”

At one particular time of the year, Betty heard this verse spoken in a service. And here’s an ironic thing: of the two sisters, most people would agree she was definitely the most stubborn!

But that day she did an amazing thing. She went home and she called Donna. Betty made a choice to forgive and forget, and she did so through a lot of tears. Donna was shocked but grateful. And she owned up to her own mistakes.

God can bring about good will between anyone, including sisters who may fight, but really love each other.

Do you need to be a catalyst for peace this week?

Let’s pray.

Lord, your mercies are ever new. Your love heals old wounds, and we need that. Thank you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
