Be a Peacemaker

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.—Matthew 5:9 (NIV)
Today, aim to be a peacemaker. Whether at work with colleagues or at home with loved ones, listen before you speak, refrain from gossip and decide against using a harsh word or sending a curt text or email. Instead, build up others with praise and spread hope and encouragement.
Lord, I am at my best when I spread Your peace to others.
