Zechariah freaked out when the otherworldly creature appeared to him. But Mary was simply "perplexed." Why would such an incredible message come to a common girl just barely a woman? Then her reply to such a foretelling about her purpose in life was also simple: "Let it be so." Have you ever struggled with finding your purpose and being at peace with it? Or are you yearning for more peace in your life and relationships? More peacein the world happens when all of us feel more peacewithin ourselves and live out that message each day.
