“ ’I am the Lord’s servant,’ Mary answered. ‘May your word to me
be fulfilled.’ Then the angel left her.” is Luke 1:38.
Serving in Love
Graphic
The astronomer measures time by light-years, the geologist
by vast cycles, the historian by epics and centuries, the industrialist by the
fiscal year, the laborer by the weekly paychecks, the child by the birthday
party.
But the common measure of time begins with the awkward
motions of rising in the morning and putting one foot in front of the other.
Mary’s obedience teaches us the integrity of life is measured in our response
to God and his love. As God’s word is fulfilled in our lives, he measures time
in terms of responsible living, even when the circumstances challenge us. Christmas peace is serving others in love … Christmas
peace is that our actions speak louder than our words. Are you the Lord’s
servant?
You know I love ya,
Don
