Devotion for Track 7: “Peacemakers’ Anthem – Children of God”

Scripture:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” – Matthew 5:9

Reflection:

In a world often torn apart by conflict and division, Jesus pronounces a blessing on the peacemakers. These are not merely those who live in peace, but those who actively work to create peace, reconciling and restoring relationships, and bringing the peace of God’s kingdom to every corner of the earth. Being a peacemaker is a divine calling, reflecting the heart of God Himself, the ultimate Peacemaker. This Beatitude reminds us that in our efforts to sow peace, we resemble our Father in heaven and are recognized as His children.

Understanding Peacemaking:

Peacemaking is not just the absence of conflict; it’s the presence of righteousness and justice. It’s an active pursuit of reconciliation, where broken relationships are restored through the love and truth of Christ. Peacemakers are those who not only live in peace but also spread peace, addressing conflicts with the wisdom and love that come from God. It’s a challenging path, often requiring sacrifice, humility, and a deep reliance on God’s guidance.

The Identity of God’s Children:

To be called children of God is to receive an identity that shapes our entire being. As His children, we are called to reflect His character, and one of the most profound attributes of God is His peace. In becoming peacemakers, we align ourselves with God’s will, bring healing to a broken world, and testify to the transformative power of His kingdom. This identity is not earned by our peacemaking efforts but is a gift of grace that empowers us to carry out this divine calling.

Application:

Consider areas in your life or community where there is conflict or division. How might you act as a peacemaker, bringing the peace and reconciliation of God’s kingdom to these situations? Seek to cultivate a spirit of peace in your own heart through prayer, forgiveness, and a deepening relationship with God. Remember, peacemaking often starts small, in our daily interactions and relationships.

Prayer:

Lord God, Prince of Peace, empower me to be a peacemaker in this world. Help me to reflect Your heart of reconciliation and love in all that I do. Give me the courage to address conflict with grace and truth, the humility to seek forgiveness when needed, and the wisdom to bring Your healing peace to every situation. Thank You for calling me Your child, and help me to live out this identity by being an agent of Your peace. In the name of Jesus, the ultimate Peacemaker, Amen.

This devotion is designed to encourage and guide you in the divine calling of peacemaking. As you embrace this calling, may you experience the profound joy and blessing of being recognized as a child of God, reflecting His peace in a world that so desperately needs it.

Peacemakers’ Anthem – Kinder Gottes

Strophe 1:

In den Flüstern des Windes, wo der Streit vergeht,
Hör ich den Ruf, ein Friedensstifter zu sein.
Mit jedem Schritt, den ich gehe, lass Frieden entstehen,
Denn in jedem Akt des Friedens seh’n wir Gott allein.

Gesegnet sind die Friedensstifter, sie werden genannt,
Kinder des lebendigen Gottes, in seiner Liebe gebannt.
In jedem Wort der Einheit, in jeder Versöhnung,
Sie schaffen Frieden, heilig und stark in Berufung.

In den Wirren unserer Zeit, im Lärm der Streitigkeit,
Lass mich ein Gefäß deines Friedens sein.
Wo Hass herrscht, lass Liebe blüh’n,
Wo Verletzung ist, bring’ Verzeihung hin.

Chorus:

Gesegnet sind die Friedensstifter, sie werden genannt,
Kinder des lebendigen Gottes, in seiner Liebe gebannt.
In jedem Wort der Einheit, in jeder Versöhnung,
Sie schaffen Frieden, heilig und stark in Berufung.

Für jedes gebrochene Herz, jeden, der zerbrochen ist,
Bringen wir den Balsam des Friedens aus Gilead.
Als deine Kinder stehen wir auf, öffnen die blinden Augen,
Zur Harmonie des Himmels, die niemals vergeht.

Strophe 3:

So geh’ ich die extra Meile, mit versöhnlichem Lächeln,
In den Spuren des Friedensfürsten selbst.
Denn in der Kunst, Frieden zu schaffen, finden wir Befreiung,
In der Familie Gottes, wo aller Streit verstummt.

Gesegnet sind die Friedensstifter, sie werden genannt,
Kinder des lebendigen Gottes, in seiner Liebe gebannt.

Im Ruf der Friedensstifter, liegt ein heiliger Name,
Kinder Gottes, Erben des Friedens, der nie verflamme.
Gesegnet, oh gesegnet, sind die, die Frieden schaff’n,
Denn sie sind Gottes Kinder, für immer in ihm verhaft’.
