Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
To become sons (and daughters) of almighty God is the gift of grace bestowed on those who believe in the speaker of these mighty words. They act like sons and daughters of God when the seek the peace in which the original world was enveloped. Peace is a product of our willingness to live among the tares without exclusion or violence against them until the day of the Harvest, as much as it depends on us.
We can use our meditative focus during the Lenten season to consider how we are each contributing to the peace of our little place in the world. Are we using our faith as a bludgeon to summarily judge those who disagree with us or are we converting faith into action, hoping to show the truth to one more? Have we reconciled broken relationships within our own family? The choices for action are endless.
We can be peacemakers, accepting the responsibility of our sonship and working where our Father is working. Or, (no flippant discourse today in the interest of peace.)
LOVE | ACCEPT | FORGIVE
