Have you ever loved something so much that you just wanted to talk about and engage it all the time??
• hobby
• knowledge
• person
• drugs
• peace
A peacemaker's fuel is love, not the desire to be right.
• plenty of people mistake the pride of proving people wrong with "love."
• people can smell that a mile away and that's why they don't feel peace around you.
A peacemaker does not enable, but provides a safe space for change with patience.
There's weakness associated with those who pick conflict over peace...
because being a peacemaker is not easy.
• Sometimes, peacemakers create peace through silence.
• Sometimes, peacemakers are seen as weak by those who are dramatic.
• Sometimes, there's only one survivor in making peace between others.
• Sometimes, peace is built over time.
• Sometimes, peacemakers sacrifice themselves for the sake of someone else's peace.
Peace is a solution to the normalized chaos.
• A peacemaker wouldn't need to exist if people weren't so selfish.
Does it need to be said? By me? Right now?
• Truth + Relationship + Time = Peace
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
If we want to be SEEN as children of God, we must submit to peace, not chaos.
We're going to need help.
