Today



Today was fearless. 

It contained mistakes, and my footing slipped, scrambling back up through forgiveness and kind hearts. Today was intent on teaching me, through people, places and faces. No one I met today was perfect, no place I visited was rid of sin, no meal I ate was flawless or pure. Today someone died, a few newly borns were welcomed. Today brought a new sheet of paper that I, against my will and Fathers will, drew ugly black marks on. Someday judged me today - for something I did. Then someone laughed at my joke and, I made someone smile. I sang a beautiful set of 10 worship songs, and barrelled through 10 others. Today brought more art into the world, a united, creative refreshment. It brought a personal blessing, and constructive reprimand. It gave me a reason, and then an opportunity, to step out. Today did not hold back intimidation or discomfort. It kept me off my chair, on my feet.  

Undeterred, today was not held back by fear

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Psalm 23:4

Perfect love casts out fear. 
1 John 4:18

When are you most fearless? Feels good, right?
