The role of a Peacemaker isn’t easily defined. We can be Advocates, Protestors, Lobbyists, Clergymen, Defenders or a collaboration of all these things. The gifts and talents that we each possess should be used as our contribution to help move society forward.
A Peacemaker is not a person who is passive and unable to take a position. We are people with a deep desire to uncover injustice, create solutions and take action for a better outcome for individuals, communities and organizations.
So what gift or talent do you have that can create change in these tumultuous times?
What are your areas of influence?
Can you organize a peaceful protest, provide training to those in need, develop a youth program, create a men’s ministry or start a women’s empowerment group?
Romans 12:18 Says, “if it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at people with everyone.
We all have a duty to live our lives in constant creation of solutions to the problems faced in today’s society.
For the next 9 days, I am running a campaign entitled “Positioned for Peace.” I will post about the various characteristics required to be an influential Peacemaker and how those traits can help bridge the gap in today’s society.
Peace In Action,
Melissa
