It Came Upon A Midnight Clear



O rest beside the weary road,

and hear the angels sing!

The words above are taken from the beautiful Christmas carol, "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" written by Ed­mund H. Sears.. These words remind me that Jesus gives rest, yes, peace right in the middle of trouble, right in the middle of turmoil, pain, heartache, and stress. He leaves us with peace, yet He never leaves us. He will calm the storms, and the waves that toss us. Because of Jesus, we can rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing! Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you; I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27).
