Be a peace maker

It's so easy to create conflicts, especially if you are one for quarelling about anything and everything!

One way or the other you will come across someone who will not agree with everything that you say or believe in. The temptation to argue until you have proven yourself to be right can be very overwhelming. But is it always wise to engage in fruitless heated arguements that create conflict? Maybe you are in the habit of quarelling with your spouse, siblings or workmates until you create havoc. You can choose to change from being a havoc maker to being a peace maker. Instead of fuelling up a heated arguement, you can actually extinguish the fire by your peaciful attitude and words. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God" (Mat 5;9)

Are you a peacemaker? It's easy to become a peacemaker if you follow what the word of God says. In every situation, avoid the obsessive drive to prove yourself right. Sometimes you do not even need to argue, you only need to pray. Ask God today to make you an instrument of peace. Where there is conflict, may you bring peace.

God is peace and the one who lives in peace lives in God and God lives in him!
