Agents for peace [ Matthew 5 v9 ]

My son John has 4 children,and you know what children are like, they have there moments of conflict,well John works away in his job. Just recently he spoke to his oldest boy and said to him, Morgan, you be an agent for peace,and I thought how meaningful that was. So I felt I should share it with you, for how many situations would be so much better,if  people took up that challenge, to be an agent for peace. How  many families,how many churches, how many countries would be affected, for the better,if they adopted those words,So many people are squaring up to each other,there are those in Islam who want to fight the world. Our Saviour said ,have peace with one another[ Mark 9v 50],  and in Romans 12v18,we are told,/Do all you can to live in peace with everyone/.Let us take on board those words to be an agent for peace, after all we follow one who is the prince of peace.Consider how  important peace is,it is a central aspect to our relationship with God,in Christ we have by faith peace ,with God,and in our day by day walk with Him we can know the peace of God.Now as we face this day can we be agents of peace,instead of agents of conflict,if we are agents of peace,then we can make a big difference in all our different situations.
A  prayer..... Dear God in a world so full of conflict help us to be agents for peace in Jesus name Amen/
