Peacemaking
August 10, 2022
I know it is hard to breath with all the polarization around you. Everyone seems so divided while many make profit from creating distrust and alienation. It is difficult to not mimic this; to not participate in being divisive and harboring distrust and bad intent.
How may your heart embrace my way?
Be discerning. Know my voice and do not confuse it with the old man in others. Be wise. Walk the trail of my story. See beyond the seen.
Your heart says this is too difficult and you don’t understand. May I suggest -Remember me. Receive my life. Remember who bears my image - all. Love. Remember me when that dogmatic spirit that divides insists on its way. Remember my love for you, my love for them. Life. Speak life and light. Don’t be afraid to chastise evil, but be one of goodwill in the rhema. I am for you, for them. Walk in Peace. Know the pathway of peacemaking enough to discern fear, hate, and brokenness. Humans operate from these places. You are fearful creatures. Break the cycle. Be life-giving healing instead. Combat fear. People are scared and those who provoke fear are not of my heart. See this. Realize it. Speak and be healing. Know the root, cut it off from your own life. Find forgiveness. Learn mercy. Dance in grace. Embrace my love for you. In this you will find life amongst those who prefer death and they shall see the life in you.
