Person Progress :Divine Nature

I am working on my Personal Progress and thought I would focus on these two goals. I'm going to focus on being a peacemaker since both of these goals line up together.

 

Develop your divine qualities. Read Matthew 5:9; John 15:12; Galatians 5:22–23; Colossians 3:12–17; 1 John 4:21; and Moroni 7:44–48. Memorize your favorite verse from one of these passages. Identify the divine qualities mentioned in all these scriptures and list them in your journal. Select one quality, and for two weeks strive to make it a part of your daily life. Record your progress and experiences in your journal.
___7. Learn the definition of the word peacemaker. Then find and read five scriptures that teach about peacemakers. Become an example of a peacemaker in your home and at school as you refrain from criticizing, complaining, or speaking unkindly to or about others. Pray each morning and evening to Heavenly Father for help to do this. After two weeks write in your journal what new habits you want to develop, how being a peacemaker is part of your divine nature, and how you will continue to be a peacemaker.

 

My initial thoughts on being a peacemaker are thus...I feel like being a peacemaker is one who does not join in idle gossip and tries to see the good in everybody. A peacemaker will give the benefit of the doubt and seeks the Lord's help in seeing people the way He sees them, as a child of God. We were not sent here to earth to fail miserably but to Succeed Gloriously.

 

 So what can I do to help my fellow brothers and sisters succeed gloriously?

 

I'm going to focus on service. I think that I can change lives for through showing love and service. I can soften hearts, ease burdens, and create long lasting relationships with people by giving myself to their needs.

 

More to come as I study this principal...
