Peace Bringer
Posted by Kym under General
This morning on the Today Show Maya Angelou was on. There was a profound moment for me when Maya was talking about peace. She extolled to Katie Couric that she should be a peace “bringer” not just a peacemaker. That we owe it to ourselves to not only bring quiet to their lives by explaining peace to them and helping to build it, but to reflect it in our own lives. Instead of giving the car that tries to cut you off a hand gesture…what if that hand gesture is one of just letting them cut in front of you? What power comes from that for everyone?
Wow. Powerful. I love that.

Sounds like she is paraphrasing Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount. He said “Blessed are the peacemakers.” It’s certainly not a passive role, is it?

Powerful, indeed.
