Thank God it's Monday Devo 43 Oct 16

MATTHEW 5:9 | Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are the “shalom bringers!” Our great God has a deeper vision of peace than the pictures current in our culture. Shalom is a comprehensive set of flourishing relationships: between God and human beings among all members of the human family, and between men and women and creation itself. We often think of peace negatively, as the absence of war and conflict. The scriptures describe shalom positively, as the harmonious and loving experience of true community and deep friendship. Shalom implies that each person is internally whole and every barrier to genuine life has been overcome.

 Can you imagine a world where there is no violence or jealousy or exploitation? A world without misunderstanding, in which evil has no foothold?
