Suffice to say, that within most families there is a “peace maker” and a “mediator” that all family members run to! That person in my family is usually “me.” This pertains to brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, etc.
It is not “me” behind being a peacemaker. Instead, of course it is God , who plays a pivotal role in the assembly of said situations and gives a “calling” to those who are intended for this type of “career.”
It’s interesting to note that I am the “youngest” of my family, and yet…God has chosen to give me a role is “listening” and guiding individuals to the path of least resistance, in this case…harmony. Or at the very least, peaceful outcomes overall.
It is an ultimate honor being in the capacity of peacemaker. It is a gift from the Father of lights and it is one I don’t take lightly. Nor do I take any other gift from Him at any time, lightly. Instead, it is a privilege and a crucial component to my Christian faith, and I would hope, a testimony of my love for Him.
Recognize and understand that we all have roles in the body of Christ. We are all extensions of Him and all part of the unity of being faithful followers, giving Him glory and uplifting Him by our cohesive measures.
Some are teachers, some are encouragers, some are listeners, some are peacemakers, and more than not, most of us have many talents/gifts that God has ordained us for. The important thing is to fully enact and engage upon your gifts before they are “taken away.” In other words, use them or lose them.
Have you tapped into your “gifts” today?
“Father, Thank You, from the bottom of my heart, it is my utmost honor to serve You in the capacity in which you have ordained me, may I follow You all the days of my life, and may I be pleasing to You and follow Your will, and in so doing, may it bring You glory at all times, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
