“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
— Matthew 5:9 NASB1995
🔦 Be the One Who Calms the Fire
Let’s face it: drama is everywhere—in your group chat, your school, maybe even your family. Jesus says the real ones in the Kingdom aren’t the ones who fuel the fire. They’re the ones who help put it out.
Peacemaking doesn’t mean avoiding problems or being fake. It means stepping in with gentleness and helping people come back together. It means showing mercy and helping others understand each other. And when you do, Jesus says you look just like your Heavenly Father.
🔊 Real Talk:
- Are you more likely to stir the pot or cool things down?
- What keeps you from making peace?
✨ Try This:
When you see a conflict this week, ask God to help you be a bridge, not a barrier. Reach out to the person left out or speak peace into the tension.
✍️ Prayer:
God, make me a peacemaker. Help me forgive, help me speak gently, and help me bring people together instead of tearing them apart. I want to look like You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
