Are you a peacemaker? Do you strive to pursue peace with all men as we are instructed in the bible? We all know that Christians are to be peacemakers. Saying it is easy, but how often do you find yourself putting it in practice? Are you referred to as a mediator, negotiator, or go between? Are you a peacemaker?
Can your presence ease turmoil? Are you soothing, calm, or serene? How often are you called on to unify a broken bond? Is restoration a part of the fabric by which you live your life? Are you a peacemaker?
A peacemaker is someone who brings about peace. It is someone who lives peacefully and pursues peaceful situations as a function of their everyday character. He or she speaks peace, promotes peace, and exudes peace. Peacemakers are happy without logical reason or clearly defined triggers. They know joy and live faith focused lives. Peacemakers refuse to allow themselves to be soil for negativity and discontent. Are you a peacemaker?
Have you found yourself speaking life into the dark places of another's life? Have you been striving to ensure that God's light continues to be what others see shining? Have you removed yourself as the solution and offered God instead? Have you loved in the pathway of hate? Are you a peacemaker?
Peacemakers are humble and eager to be used. Peacemakers are aware that they are at times planters, at times water, but always just a tool that God needs to grow more peacemakers. Peacemakers are easy to spot spirit to spirit, but hard to see through natural eyes that are trained to look for human imperfections. So are you a peacemaker?
