God's calling has always been to do with this tongue and mouth of mine...haha...speak. witness. encourage. declare. impart. sing. speak. speak. speak. Ever since I was 17.
I think, for a long time now, I have not dared to speak. Speak TRUTH with LOVE and GRACE, just as the prophet from Down Under said 5 years ago. More often than not, I have been tongue-tied. I have not spoken the truth. I have not spoken in love. Bitterness and despair would be more like it.
However, God is good. When God says something he will carry it out. For a long time, I thought speaking truth and witnessing meant the gospel to the lost. Yes it does. But it means a lot more. It means the powerful truth in every situation, it means love exuded and grace abundantly sowed. How difficult it is to not be afraid. I still hyperventilate sometimes when I need to do it.
But God is good.
Speak
Break the chains of the captives
Bring light to the blurry places
Speak
There is so much to give
There are so many hopeless faces
Speak
In the image of my Creator
In the essence of my God
