Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
You can’t fill a cup with an empty tea kettle. OK, if you don’t like tea insert your own analogy like a coffee pot or pitcher. The point is they are all empty and you can’t give what you don’t have. If you are running low on peace, it is very hard to help someone find peace. Lucky for us, we know a source that is always available to help you refill.
To be a peacemaker, you have to find peace yourself. We all know this isn’t always easy. It is never easy when we try to do it ourselves. No amount of meditation, yoga, or deep breathing will bring real peace. Now, I am a big advocate for all of those things and practice them every day, but I know the peace that I find in them comes from God. It is my taking time to connect to Him during those things that I find inner peace.
I am not saying that is the only way to connect to God. You have to do your thing, whatever that is. Just make time to go and connect. Fill your vessel, so you can help fill others. Where can you go to find God and fill up? Do it today, and every single day, so you can be a blessed peacemaker!
Fill me up LORD! I need your peace today to spread to others! ~amen
