still have a long ways to go

blessed were they who follow Christ. I remember Pastor Lam also giving a sermon on this too; as followers of Christ, we should encompass all the beatitudes. That when Jesus was talking about the beatitudes, he wasn't talking about various groups with one of the beatitudes, He was talking about the disciples themselves. Looking in the mirror, I don't really see my life reflecting any of the beatitudes. For sure I feel the very opposite of a peacemaker right now. I'd rather not bring peace, but a sword. I would rather have a peacemaker right now, than be a peace maker. yeah, still have a long ways to go...
