Day 18. Admonition 15

 

Day 18. Admonition 15   Of Peacemakers.   “Blessed are the peacemakers: 1 for they shall be called the children of God.”   People are truly peacemakers, when in the middle of all they suffer in this world; they maintain peace in their soul and in their body, and for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.                                   1 Matt. 5. 9.

What really is a peacemaker?   I have primarily associated the term ‘Peacemaker’ with someone engaged in the process of bringing waring nations factions together again:   A Diplomat, Intermediary, Arbiter are terms referring to Peacemakers in specific instances; stark definitions that don’t quite hit the nail on the head.   Peacemaking begins within us as we come to terms with who we are and forgive ourselves for everything. (Here you might like to go to Clarity to read an article about Peacemaking by Annie Zalezak.)   It is in dwelling in perfect peace, being peaceful; this new serenity fits us to begin to devote ourselves to making peace between others.   And so we shall be called children of God.   Isaiah 26:3 “With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust you.”(GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995))
