#Peacemaking

Tomorrow, we begin our peacemaking series! I’ve been working on this one for a while, and I’m genuinely so excited to share it with you. If you’ve ever wondered what peacemaking actually looks like — in real life, in your home, in the world — this one’s for you. 🕊️ #Peacemaking #peacebuilding #peace

This morning, I described how blessed it is to be a peacemaker and how peacemaking begins in the most basic place: in our hearts, then in homes and families. As we practice there, peacemaking will spread into our neighborhoods and communities. Peacemakers are sometimes labeled naive or weak from all sides. Yet, to be a peacemaker is not to be weak, but to be strong in a way the world may not understand. #GeneralConference #HearHim

The Book of Mormon frequently declares that Christ is “the light of the world.” During His appearance to the Nephites, the risen Lord explained that teaching by telling them: “I have set an example for you.” “I am the light which ye shall hold up�—that which ye have seen me do. #jesuschrist #discipleship #commandments #peacemaking Following Christ By President Dallin H. Oaks First Counselor in the First Presidency, General Conference of October of 2024

It’s says blessed are the peace makers not the people pleasers. It says blessed are the peace makers, not the silent. It says blessed are the peace makers, not those who wan to avoid conflict to feel more comfortable.

PEACEMAKING VS PEACEKEEPING

“Being a peace activist does not mean you ignore reality, it means you work together to change this reality.” — @azizabusarah on Episode 122 of the @goingplacesmedia show #peacemaking #podcast

Peacekeeping leads to false peace. Peacemaking leads to true peace. But it often requires us to step into challenging spaces—at home, at work, and with friends. 😁 I hope this helps you the next time you go out with friends for dinner. 😁 #TheNarrowPath

Although the pressures felt by the rising generation differ from those of the young person in Galilee, Jesus Christ’s teachings still apply today: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9). Today, peacemaking still begins in the most basic place—in our hearts. Then in homes and families. As we practice there, peacemaking will spread into our neighborhoods and communities.
