I was called out today
Called out for being a peacemaker
Called out for owning a wrong
that wasn't mine to own
in order to make someone else feel better
And I would do it again in a heartbeat
for the sake of the kingdom.
I was enabled to grow today
To push beyond the barrier
I wouldn't normally cross
To step up from default mode
to push and learn and grow
In many ways,
it is easy to be a peacemaker
The cost can be painlessly borne
But growth takes energy
Stepping up
calls for courage
and for risk.
It feels good to reach a new edge
But the effort required
leaves weariness and elation
in equal measure.
It's been a good day
learning and growing in God.
