We reflect our Father in heaven when we keep the peace. God makes peace. We can’t“do”peace without Him. The very first step in becoming a peacekeeper is upgrading our status to“Children of the One True God.”To produce true peace, we need Peace. Our belief and acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice and forgiveness activates the peace that surpasses all understanding. It doesn’t leave us when we don’t feel peaceful, nor does it leave our situations and relationships when they don’t feel good. It remains. Jesus didn’t say, “Blessed are those who are right.” For the sake of peace, sometimes you have to let the other person think they’re right, even when you know they’re wrong. We think, I’m right, and I’m going to prove it and win this fight. You can win every battle, prove your points, but your relationships are being damaged. Put your ego down and let them be right even though you think you’re right. Be a peacemaker and learn to shake it off and move on.
