If someone there is genuinely open to peace, your blessing will stick with them. But if they're not having it, don't worry — that peace comes right back to you.

You're blessed when you're genuinely hungry and thirsty for what's right — like, you actually crave justice and goodness the way you'd crave food when you're starving. Because that craving? It's going to be satisfied.

But without faith it is impossible to please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
