Making Peace with a Sincere Heart

I would like the words you speak and the thoughts within you to draw closer together. I want you to live openly before me. Like a father meeting his honest child's eyes, I want to know you at close range.

Jesus said the pure in heart will see me and the peacemakers will be called my children. I am glad when your gentle words create room for people to understand each other, instead of adding fuel to a quarrel.

Let your heart breathe freely in my presence tonight. If you have thoughts to sort through, you can speak about them slowly. I want the love you have received to help you grow as my child, making peace between people.
