Peacemaker

Today is "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day", and I greatly appreciate all the men and women who serve us all in the law enforcement field. It is a tireless, thankless, often unappreciated job that so many do without any thought for themselves. I am grateful for those in the law enforcement field and those that will become law enforcement. Thanks!

We need peacemakers, peacekeepers, people who serve others by making sure that peace is protected, and restored when broken. There are so many people in today's society that their number one goal is to cause strife and discord and disharmony and disunity. Thankfully, though, we have those who have the opposite goal, and work to restore broken peace.

Today's word is Matthew 5:9, NIV, which reads, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of GOD."

This verse tells us that there is a special blessing for those of GOD'S children that strive to establish, protect, and restore peace. When we work to bring peace, we are displaying one of the many traits of our Heavenly Father, we look like, we act like, we display one of His traits, one of His characteristics. Now, is everyone who is a peacemaker one of GOD'S children? Probably not. But, they are still displaying one of His traits.

On this day that is set aside for appreciating our Law Enforcement personnel, I just want to take the time to say, "Thanks." I truly appreciate your time and sacrifice. I can never tell you all enough how much I appreciate your willingness to protect and to serve. May GOD richly bless you for being a peacemaker.

Be Blessed,
