It’s easy to forget this part of following You, Jesus.

You call me to peace….

— But You also call me to take up Your sword.

You teach me to turn the other cheek.

— But You also command me to stand up for what’s right.

Whenever possible, You challenge me to find common ground with those who oppose me.

— But You also order me to draw a line in the dirt beyond which I will not, cannot, dare not, go.

You call me to forgive, to overlook an offense, to lovingly cover over a multitude of sins.

— But You also call me to wage war against evil.

Yes, I’m one of Your lambs.

— But I’m also a soldier.

And You’re my Commanding Officer.

So….. who… what… when… where… Do You want me — in Your Strength — to fight?
