There is a song I loved that we sang in church growing up. My favorite line: “I know the Peacespeaker. I know Him by name.” I can still hear it being sung. It depicts a part of the character of God so perfectly – the Peacespeaker. The one who knows how to bring peace to this world by just a word, a touch, a breathe…how awesome it is to know Him!
It is awesome because this world is in need of peace! Life gets crazy quick. Things happen. There are very few good news stories. Sickness, pain, depression, anger and strife surround us. People go hungry, homeless, are sold into slavery, or feel so alone they decide to take their own lives. What a world in need of a Savior!
Christ is what the world needs! Since we are followers of Christ – aren’t we His examples on Earth? He is the Peacespeaker – therefore, shouldn’t we try to emulate Him?
Start a journey with me – a journey to pursue peace. In everything we do – try to speak & do in a way that brings about connection rather than division. No more harmful, unnecessary or mean judgement. I, personally, have had to clean up some messes because I decided to place judgement when it wasn’t my place.
I am starting this journey – a journey towards speaking peace over my life, my family, my friends, my job, my church, my country, and our world. Join me!! Let’s show everyone who God is. Not some judge with a mallet, but a good, kind Father who loves everyone…even in the midst of our sins.
“Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.”
Psalms 34:14 NKJV
Be blessed my dear friends!
Boldly Radiant
