I’m not called to build a wall.
Just a section of it.
I’m not called to change a nation.
Just a family.
I’m not called to right all wrongs.
Just my wrongs.
I’m not called to understand it all.
Just to seek understanding through Him.
I’m not called to single-handedly fund the church.
Just to give my part.
I’m not called to be the best friend of everyone.
Just of those God has given me.
I’m not called to win awards.
Just to glorify Him with my efforts.
I’m not called to have the best of the best.
Just to be a good steward of what I’m given.
I’m not called to be everything to everyone.
Just to be me…to be His.
I’m not called to do your part.
Just to do mine.
But if we all do ours…
Then the wall gets built.
The nation changes.
The world improves.
Understanding grows.
Things get done.
Love spreads.
Good deeds are the order of the day.
God is glorified through what our hands touch.
And the world will look and say, “There is a people whose God is the Lord.”
Blessed be the name of the Lord.


Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.
Of course, Sandy!
Can I use this on Sunday with credit, please? It will tie into my sermon.
I think God's speaking this to many of us!
I absolutely love this Roseanna! Such a powerful poem and one that resonates what God has putting on my heart of late! Thank you so much for sharing!
