I Trusted… But?
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God,” says Matthew 5:9. This is the promise of God for you. The Bible also says in Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” My friend, following peace with all men, I believe, is holiness, because 1 John 3:15 says, “A man who hates his brother is a murderer.” So, on the reverse, a person who follows peace with all brothers and sisters is a holy person. And such a person shall see God. This is exactly what Jesus is saying here: “Blessed are those who make peace.” But where does this peace begin? First of all, you must make peace in your heart with God. Only then will you have the power to make peace with all men. And from there, you will begin to bring peace between people. Such a person is called the child of God.
My friend, God desires to make you such a person, a true child of God, full of the holiness of God, and having the grace to see God. When you have peace in your heart with God, when you have peace with all people, and when you make peace between others, this blessing is what God wants to give you. Let me share a testimony with you. Sis. Selvi from Ennore shared this testimony: Someone approached her with an investment opportunity. She trusted them and invested her money. They gave the returns in the first month, but from the second month, they stopped. They delayed and made false promises. This brought great pressure to her family. People they had borrowed from started coming against them. Because of this intense pressure, her husband became an alcoholic. There was no peace at home. They couldn’t sleep. They felt lost, struggling even with their children.
That’s when they came to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower. They began attending every meeting. God’s peace came into their hearts, and a great hope in Jesus was born. She could sell the property and gradually repaid the money. Today, her husband is transformed and has come out of alcohol. The children are blessed, and they are happily married. They are now part of the Family Blessing Plan of Jesus Calls. God has established their life in peace. And my friend, God will establish your life, too. Whatever money you need to repay, God will give you grace to do it. There will be nobody to accuse you. You will be truly called a child of God, taken care of by Him. May God bless you with this blessing.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, thank You for Your loving assurance that peacemakers will be called Your children. Lord, I long to be Your child, not just in name, but in spirit and truth. Please fill my heart with Your peace. Help me to first make peace with You, then to carry that peace into my relationships with others. Give me the strength to forgive, the humility to restore and the courage to be a bridge between people. Please help me to walk in Your holiness daily and use me to bring peace wherever there is division. I receive Your blessing today and pray that You will make me a vessel of Your peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
