Peacemakers

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.~Matthew 5:9

The world is turbulent and loud.  Full of sounds of hate and me against you and us against them.  This is not how it should be.  God desires unity, love and peace.  God tells us the children of God are the peacemakers.  We can be them bridge of love and sanity by loving our enemies and blessing those who persecute us.  

We are not doormats, but rather those who stand in the gap praying that more love and understanding abounds.  We don’t have to respond the way the works does, but the way our Father commands with peace ( Romans 12:18).

Father there are a lot of sides, but may we stand on your side.  The side of truth, love, and peace.  Let us be reconciled to our neighbors and walk in unity.  May the mistrust dissipate.  Help us to be peacemakers.  In Jesus name.  Amen
