People of Peace

I have been thinking lately about the real people of peace that live in our local community. These are those people who very naturally want to spend time with their neighbours and be helpers of those who need a bit of a hand. I reckon these are the sort of people who Jesus refers to (in the positive sense) in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 10, and verse 6. These are those who will naturally be open to ideas and be ready to make a contribution.

There is here, in these opening verses to Luke 10, the possibility of a real meeting of the minds, and a connection being made between peace objectives, that might just be worth pursuing. A 'person of peace' carries God's goodwill and passes it on to others, and shows the sort of developing character that expresses the destiny that this person is worthy of. Sometimes such a person just needs a channel through which to work, and/or, just a little bit of a nudge.

Warren. God bless.
