We have such dual callings--to stand firm in the battle against the enemy, our flesh and the world, against injustice and unrighteousness. And to be at peace and seek peace and make peace. It is easy to get confused on these two callings. I really appreciate your call to making peace--a role I often find myself in. I believe we will win many battles by seeking peace, by showing love and kindness, by laying down our lives for people. Be blessed! Thanks, Rebecca.

I was watching a documentary a couple days ago by a man who went to Ethiopia and was struck by the lack of peace, love and joy in the American church. Everywhere he looked he saw joyful (and peaceful) Ethiopian Christians, despite their difficult circumstances. That isn't the reality for most of the church here. Thank you for your post!

Reading this, the word "peacemaker" jumped out and smacked me clean across the mouth. It's active. A peacemaker must go and do and MAKE peace. Peace isn't something we achieve through inactivity or complacency. It isn't something that just happens to us when we sit around doing nothing. Peace IS an active pursuit, as you said. Right on! Thanks for your heart. Great thoughts, Rebecca! Reading this, the word "peacemaker" jumped out and smacked me clean across the mouth. It's active. A peacemaker must go and do and MAKE peace.
