Don't Call Common

I haven't written on here for a while because I have been working on a big writing process and haven't found the time to spill out a couple of pages of my normal ramblings.  However, I thought I'd share a poem that came out of my prayer time a few days back.  God has really been working on growing my heart for his people.  May it bless you!

Just like Peter,                                                                                                            

A white sheet haunts my dreams.

But unlike Peter,

 Mine doesn’t have animals.

It has people.

Faces.

You say,

“Don’t call common!

What I have made clean!”

You died for them,

Shed your perfect blood for them.

The price has been paid for their redemption:

Black,

White,

Brown,

 Man,

Woman,

Child,

Poor,

Rich,

Working,

Playing,

The faces.

At the store,

On the street,

In their cars.

There is no common face.

You called them all:

“Come, I call you clean!”

You called me:

“Tell them!”

Forgive my Jonah spirit Lord!

Father give me strength.

I want to be your shepherd.

But do I love your sheep?

I am tired of being just a work hand!

I know your business,

You have called me friend.

Jesus,

Brother,

Help me love my brothers!
