This piece is the second paper cutting in my Beatitudes series. I’m enjoying trying to portray the attributes in this series because it makes me think more thoroughly about each one.
You’ll notice the girl in this paper cutting is looking you straight in the eye. Peacemakers have to be diplomatic, but fearless. Ultimately, they are protectors.
Here are just a few of the things a peacemaker must be: patient, insightful, empathetic, wise, resolute, and able to stand firm and alone.
Can you think of any others?
We need more people in the world who know how to be a peacemaker.
