The Peacemaker

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9 KJV

A peacemaker is a person who brings about peace. They configure resolutions to existing and potential conflicts. This individual loves beyond unfavorable conditions and characters. We have been graced by the presence of many peacemakers on Earth: Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Rigoberta Menchu Tum, and the most renowned of all, Jesus Christ!

Making peace is not always the most appealing line of action. A peacemaker is driven by what is right according to their faith. Ironically, in an attempt to make peace, an individual may experience much backlash. All of the individuals mentioned dealt with controversy of some sort. There faith kept them going through every trial. 

We pray that you understand and apply the concept of peacemaking to your life. Take the time to study the Word of God and individuals mentioned in today's Daily Short. Ask God to mold you into a peacemaker and keep you away from the spirit of dissension. Be led by God in all things, walk courageously into all that you are called to. 

In Jesus might name,

Hallelujah, Amen!
