Do we seek to bring His peace?

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:9‭-‬10)

God has been so "on time". Two days ago we experienced a few moments of subtle and not-so-subtle racism. Yesterday my wife had the opportunity to make amends with some who hurt us.

 She is such a peacemaker. She hurts when she is not perfect but also hurts when others are wronged. She desires to get to the heart of others. . . to share the heart of Christ..

We should always seek peace. . . the peace of God. It us not always easy. 

However, as we were having our morning coffee, we discussed that real ministry simply happens! They are not programs or events, but life!

Jesus ministered as He walked. He provided wine. He healed the lame. He forgave the prostitute. He took time to speak to the Samaritan woman shunned by others. He even comforted the thief on the cross as He Himself was suffering!

Do we seek to bring His peace, His comfort, His healing to our current situations at home, at work, or even as we travel here and there? We cannot worry about the reaction of others, simply share His heart

It is always about the heart of Christ. . .there we find PEACE!
