From Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
Holy Spirit tracks every life
Jesus leaves us with eternal peace
Unlike anything else done by man
Praying to our Lord, life’s centerpiece
Peace emerges with fullness and joy
Holy blessing from Christ, filled with love
Feeling gladness and newness in life
God’s gift of Grace offered from above
Rejoicing in our Holy Father
Feeling the gentleness from His hand
Bringing daily worries to the Lord
Guarding hearts and minds, from where He stands
Salvation comes through our Savior
Encourage each sister and brother
Reaching to us, God’s peace never ends
Heart, mind, soul—transformed like none other
Complete and perfect in His goodness
Yesterday, today, and forever
Jesus will always love each of us
His glory brings peace, best gift ever
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: To be a peacemaker is to reflect the image of our heavenly Father–using our breath, energy, and creativity to sow peace wherever the Spirit takes us.
Thank you for this beautiful post. I’ve had friends and family tell me that I’m always the “peace-maker”. I don’t say that to brag; but as proof of God’s work. Wisdom and bringing peace are what I pray (and have prayed) my entire life. Peace and God’s love to you both!
