Divine Qualities
What are divine qualities that we have? What makes them divine? How do we find these divine qualities? How do we develop these divine qualities?
Alma 7:23-24 says, "And now I would that ye be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and longsuffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."
D&C 121:45 says, " 45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven."
We should know where we come from and who we are. We are children of Heavenly Father and he loves each and every one of us. He sent us here for a purpose and we need to fulfill it. Our loyalty should be to God and not to Satin. Satin does not love us and he never will. He wants to bring us down, so be loyal to the royal in you!!!

Peace Maker
Peace maker - noun, a person who brings about peace, especially by reconciling adversaries.
Peace maker is someone who brings peace. Who would've thought???? Yeah okay that one was a given, but what does it truly mean to be a peace maker? You are not just bringing peace. You cause it. You help make sure the peace lasts. You do not cause the peace to end. In your home life, you strive to bring your family not only peace, but happiness and joy.
Matthew 5:9 says, "Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God."
3 Nephi 12:9 says, " And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."
Roman 14:19 says, "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."
James 3:18 says, "And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."
Doctrine and Covenants 98:34 says, "And if any nation, tongue, or people should proclaim war against them, they should first lift a standard of peace unto that people, nation, or tongue;"
I think that being a peace maker is important in our lives. Today people create drama for fun and we insult people sometimes without even realizing it. I find it important to try our hardest to bring peace and help others. We need to strive to bring peace and be kind.
