Just don't wait for that smoke to become a fire before you jump into action as a peacemaker. Bitterness, misunderstandings, miscommunications, wounds, they can't just be left there to smolder. You may not like confronting them. Very few of us do, but you're really not going to like what happens if you don't confront them. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:9&version=NIV 2009-09-02T16:41:27-05:00 Jesus tells us in the beatitudes that the peacemakers are blessed in the Kingdom of God. He says that they will be called Sons of God.
