peacemakers

Do you know that the peacemakers are blessed because they are my children? You find this in the Beatitudes and it is one of the later entries. Does it seem like a simple thing, and surprise you that it is listed after other deep spiritual principles? You are not in a position to bring peace to others until you have peace within yourself. It is easy to assume that you are more advanced here than you are. It is easy to see conflict, violence, and unrighteous judgment. When you see them, are you eager to use the same methods to oppose them? Becoming non-judgmental is a lifetime project. I give peace that passes understanding. Receive it that you may give it to others.
