Blessed are the Peacemakers: For they shall be called the children of God.
“The thing we long for that we are
For one transcendent moment.”
Peace is one of the great words of the Bible. It is a transfigured word. It shines like a brilliant diamond. It is a word which includes in its meaning all the blessings and all the graces of spiritual life. To have peace is to be rich. To be a maker of peace is to be a dispenser of the best that even heaven has to give to men.
God is the great Peacemaker. It is the peace of God Himself which is offered to us. An old promise tells us that God will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him. He is the maker of the peace – ours is but the staying of the trembling life on His almightiness.
