Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
This verse immediately draws my mind to the men of God that preached the gospel that I have been extremely blessed to know. Eternity will tell what an impact these men have had on not just my life but many others. These men sacrificed a great portion of their life for me. They spent time preparing and praying for the messages they brought, and the classes they taught in which I was a student. I’m indebted to them for the effort they spent on me. I pray I don’t disappoint them. So I’d like to dedicate this little poem to the Peacemakers in my life, the faithful men of God that have encouraged me along the way. Anyhow, I know it’s horrible, but you got to start somewhere. Be merciful now.

The Peacemaker
.
He obeys the Father,
Though all may deem it odd;
And will not fret or bother,
For He’s a child of God.
.
Doubter and pagan and scoffer!
Pray he never cease,
To preach and pray and offer,
The Prince’s terms of peace:
.
“One thing does God require:
That sinners pay the price.
By faith you must acquire
The perfect sacrifice.”
.
“Beware the throne is yonder,
From which the world flees.
No more time to ponder.
Behold, the Prince of Peace.”
.
In church, there’s joy in seeing,
How Jesus fills the seats.
O the blessed fruit of being,
A maker of the Peace.
