Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Ponderings:
Wanting everything to be fixed is not the same as being a peacemaker. I wish that were all it took.
Jesus is acknowledging there are some of his children who are gifted Beyond Just Fixing. They are peacemakers. They are able to create a unique connection between God and a world where separating one person’s truth from another’s has become the essence of conflict.
The peacemaker’s gift is not the ability to provide therapy, preaching or give good advice. They are able to create an opportunity for those in conflict to explore the reality of truth as God means it to be: a path to unity not separation.
