BE A PEACEMAKER


You know how we all want a PIECE of the pie.
It is amazing but we already have a PEACE - a PEACE in Jesus Christ, who died for each one of us.  We were all forgiven and taught that we should forgive even those that we don’t really care for or get along with.  God gave us his best gift: His SON, FORGIVENESS and ETERNAL LIFE.  It’s a gift that he wants us to give away to others.
Have you ever seen the movie "Pay it Forward"?  It’s about someone doing something for someone else expecting nothing in return. It could be as little as putting a quarter in the slot at Aldi's  and then giving your cart to someone else when you leave.  Or while you’re in the drive thru at your favorite fast food restaurant you could pay for the car that is in line behind you. It is awesome to see the look on their face when this is done.
As it states in Matthew 5 "Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven.”  We can rejoice in bringing the peace of Christ into the hearts of others, showing them the reward awaiting them in heaven.   
 Dear Jesus, please be with each of us to have the Peace you gave us and for us to pass that Peace onto those who have not found it yet.  " Blessed are the Peacemakers, because they will be called Sons of God. Amen
