Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. — Matthew 5:9
Where do fights and quarrels come from? They come from corrupted desires that battle within. Good desires gone bad, tainted with lies, food for the enemy.
Peacemakers see things as they truly are.
I remember sitting down with a fellow who was trapped in a life of hate. His very speech was inflammatory. But as his story unfolded, I found a little boy inside who never had his father’s love, who always played second fiddle to the father’s favorite children.
We are peacemakers. We bring Jesus to those hurting little boys and little girls and watch Him remove the lies, purify the desires and remove the hate.
Be encouraged!
