Blessed Are the PeacemakersMatthew 5:9
No. 116Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.Matthew 5:9
Peacemakers are not peacekeepers. Peacekeepers avoid conflict at all costs. Peacemakers step into conflict and work toward real resolution. It's harder, costlier, and rarer. That's why Jesus calls them blessed.
Reflect
Is there a conflict in your life you've been keeping rather than making peace? What would one step toward resolution look like?
Prayer
Lord, make me a peacemaker — not someone who avoids hard conversations, but someone who has them with grace. Amen.
