Each of us is called by God. The call may not be as dramatic as the stories we heard today, but we are all called to live into our full selves. Sometimes, the call is difficult to hear at first. Sometimes our call does not fit within the confines of the systems that humans have created. Sometimes, [speaking up for justice] may require relaying difficult truths to people close to us. The psalmist sings of God putting a new song in our mouths, “to announce God’s justice in the vast assembly.” We must “not restrain our lips.” We are all called to speak out even when it is uncomfortable. Especially when it is uncomfortable. After all, that’s what Jesus did time and time again.
