If you left your job today, what would situation are you leaving behind? Have you made it better? Have you been a positive contributor, or an expectant consumer?

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, [a]he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and [b]He has [c]committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

What are you doing to proactively cultivate reconciliation? 
Is that happening in your private conversations? 

What I want:

• my needs to be considered important  
• Leadership to care more about my frustrations than the mission
• The team to focus on what is hard for me
• The energy of the organization to be spent making me feel comfortable and happy. 

What scripture calls me to:

• reconcile a lost world to Christ 
• Is it possible to reconcile a lost world if you aren’t living in the midst of brokenness? Is it possible to heal something if it isn’t broken?
• We are called to a mission that is far greater than our comfort. 

I want to encourage you acknowledge that brokenness does in fact exist around you in your work. I also want to challenge you to leave a wake of redemption in your path. Care for the people around you. Look to serve rather than expecting to be served. Makes things beautiful.
