Page A-24 Shelton-Mason Journal Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020 KIDS” MESSAGE by Theresa Murray theresa@masoncounty.com “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9 NLT ’ Wherever Jesus went, large crowds followed Him. He taught about the Kingdom of God, and the endless love, mercy and grace of His father. - He also taught how we are to live, if we follow Him. He didn’t just teach us, He showed by example! In Matthew 5, He is teaching what are referred to as the ‘beatitudes’. Do you know what a beatitude is? It is a ‘supreme blessing.’ He mentioned eight of them. This was #7. If we work for peace, we will be called the children of God! I want to be called a child of God! Don’t YOU? So what else do we have to do to BE a child of God? Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that the Holy Spirit produces this kind of behavior in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentlenes, and self-control. These are ‘fruits of the Spirit’. This is the way we need to live if we want to be children of God and inherit the kingdom of Heaven. But, when we follow the desires of our sinful nature, we live a very different way. We quarrel, we are jealous, we have outbursts of anger, we are hostile, selfish,are divided, envious—there is a whole list of stuff in verses 19-21 that tell us anvone living like that will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. :mH 'r“ '“ avid E-I’ISCOPAL CHURCH SUNDAY SERVICES Join Us for Online Worship at 10:30 am.

OTA FIRST BAPTIST Please Check Our 360-426—8461 www.5heltonfbc.org ‘ r ibuta Good News! We need to get rid of all bitterness, rage, harsh words, and slander (gossiping in a mean way), as well as ALL types of evil behavior. Jesus wants us to be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven us! Ephesians 4:31-32 Sometimes that is really hardll Sometimes it’s not easy to forgive someone who is mean to you, or hurts you-especially if they don’t think they did anything wrong! I try to remember, when Jesus was hanging on the cross, He looked at everyone who had tortured Him, and nailed Him there—everyone who was mocking Him and spitting on Him, making fun of Him— and He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Have you ever done something that you didn’t even know hurt someone else’s feelings? Or have you accused someone of something they didn’t do? We are all guilty of that! Well, the fifth beatitude (blessing!) is God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. If we forgive others, we will be forgiven! If we help another in need, someday we may need help, and it will be there! What if someone has a different opinion than you do? It’s okay if we don’t all think the same way! We don’t have to be mean to each other! Working for peace does not mean we let people bully us, but we do not want to fight with them either. We might not know what they are going through, and they might not know how to deal with it. So many times I have been able to make friends with people who were mean to me just because I cared about them. Just because I had compassion for what they were going through, and prayed for them. But it hasn’t always worked out that way. It didn’t for Jesus either. Not everyone will appreciate when we show ‘fruits of the Spirit.’ Sometimes it makes people mad, because they don’t want to be patient and loving and kind. We have to love them anyway, even when we don’t want to, because Jesus does. But, those are the times, we can tell Jesus, “I am really mad! But I don’t want to hate and be mean, because You love all of us, even when we are fighting. So help us all be blessed!” You know, it actually takes more strength to be a person who works for peace. Don’t feel like you are being weak! And, if you ever do feel discouraged, like nobody notices you are trying to be like Jesus, remember Beatitude #6, God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. Be a soldier of peace! S mm. a“, «m- In 511:3; $41.5!» r' F Will Preach for Food Podcast www.faithshelton.org 121 2 Connection Street, Shelton . 360.426.861 l Rev.
