God's Christmas Shalom

Merry Christmas from Unhurried Living! We hope you enjoy a great sense of the presence of God in Christ with you on this special day.
In my most recent book, A Non-Anxious Life, I share this:
“Peace is rooted in the robust and full-orbed meaning of the Hebrew shalom. It is more than an absence of tension, stress, conflict, or trouble. It is the presence of the Prince of Peace, the God of peace, the Spirit of peace. Peace is the atmosphere of heaven. And heaven surrounds and permeates us with peace we can breathe.”(p. 14)
I pray that your experience of the rich, strong peace of God in Christ would deepen in the coming year. May you sense the shalom of God in everything that challenges you, troubles you, stretches you, opposes you. May you breathe deep the peace of God, which is the atmosphere of heaven.
Grace and peace to you!
