Sometimes happiness doesn’t look like what you think it does.

MAKE peace to experience healing in your life. 

Question: Are there some relationships in your life that you just have to … bear? Do you wish that you could just help those relationships heal? 

Then he began to teach them, saying: 
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.  
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 
Blessed are the humble, for they will inherit the earth. 
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." 
Matthew 5:2-8

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.  
Matthew 5:9

Peace is the place where healing and wholeness happen.

Peacekeepers often avoid conflict to keep the peace.

Peacemakers confront to make peace.

Question: What do you tend to be? A “peacemaker” or a “peacekeeper”? Why is that the case? Is there a relationship in your life that you long to be healed?

Crafting Peace

Speak the truth in love.

But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head—Christ. Ephesians 4:15

Set a clear sensible boundary and follow through.

Healing in Peace
Apologize when you are wrong.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16

Practice the process of forgiveness.

 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18

MAKE peace to experience healing in your life. 

#Reflection/Prayer

God, strengthen me to speak the truth in love, apologize when I am wrong, and forgive as Jesus forgave.
