Peacemakers

Mat 5:9  Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

 How few there are today who are willing to be peacemakers. The reason? Because it costs us.  A peacemaker is one who gives up their personal rights in order to obtain peace.  They don’t demand their own way.  I am not talking about compromising principles, but rather one who is willing to forgo their personal rights for the sake of maintaining peace.  What a blessing they are in the home, on the job or in the church.  These truly can be called the children of God in their unselfishness.
