Do you want to be an ambassador of peace?

Did you know that there’s an International Day of Peace? It’s celebrated on September 21st. The hope and intent of this day is that all hostilities around the world cease.

It’s a beautiful idea…that Jesus instituted a very long time ago. Yes, Jesus invites us, you and me, to be His ambassadors of peace, to carry peace wherever we go.

“Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace [that is, a blessing of well-being and prosperity, the favor of God] to this house.’ And if anyone of peace is there [someone who is sweet-spirited and hospitable], your [blessing of] peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.” (the Bible, AMP, Luke 10:5-6)

In concrete terms, how can you bring peace in your daily life?

• Perhaps by praying and blessing a co-worker who offended you, rather than staying angry?
• Or perhaps by purposely releasing an atmosphere of joy and love around you?
• Or maybe through encouraging good, kind relationships within your family?
• And why not pray with someone and lead him/her to make peace with God?

You have the power to bring peace and thus have a positive impact all around you. Today, be an ambassador of Jesus’s peace!
