Peace on earth is impossible for those led by their human nature. Being an agent of peace and unity is integral to the mindset of God and His family. But waging peace with citizens in lawless societies requires one to heartily accept being the recipient of unfairness and injustices. Peace, unity and oneness are obtained through performing deeds that are repugnant to human nature and its notions of fairness and justice. Do you have what it takes to be a peacemaker?
