Be Attitude 8

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. ~ Matthew 8:9

Here are thousands of men and women, worldly indeed. They flatly declare that since they have come to believe in a Power greater than themselves, to take a certain attitude toward that Power, and to do certain simple things. There has been a revolutionary change in their way of living and thinking. In the face of collapse and despair, in the face of the total failure of their human resources, they found that a new power, peace, happiness, and sense of direction flowed into them. This happened soon after they wholeheartedly met a few simple requirements. Once confused and baffled by the seeming futility of existence, they show the underlying reasons why they were making heavy going of life. Leaving aside the drink question, they tell why living was so unsatisfactory. They show how the change came over them. When many hundreds of people are able to say that the consciousness of the Presence of God is today the most important fact of their lives, they present a powerful reason why one should have faith. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous The Big Book and A Study Guide of the 12 Steps. Anonymous Publishing. Kindle Edition. Pages 50-51

People who have lived in chaos
and who have found peace
want that peace!
They have become peacemakers,
children of God.
Able to say that the consciousness
of the Presence of God
is today the most important fact
of their lives,
they present a powerful reason
why one should have faith       

and be peacemakers!
