Listen inside yourself…and let it out!

The topic of "voice" makes me positively excited. Not because I'm a singer, but because of you! Even without knowing you personally, I know for a fact that your voice can do and move a lot!

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." (Proverbs 31:8-9 NIV) 

friend, there are so many ways to raise your voice for those who have no voice themselves that sometimes you might even despair of it. Where do you start and where do you stop? At least that's how I feel.

I recommend you listen inside yourself. What is your heart beating for? What is the passion of your heart? God has not let your heart beat by chance. He has a purpose for the passions He gifts to you. Let that powerful voice speak! Think about how you could take a concrete first step.

Just take that first step, accompanied by much prayer, and you will be pleasantly surprised how quickly you are on your way—HIS WAY.

What moves your heart? Maybe something within has been waiting for release for a long time already. Why don’t you speak it out in faith today?

I was a little over twenty years old when I was asked on TV, "What do you dream of in the future?" I couldn't stop my tongue. The words shot out of my mouth without warning, "I'd like to start a facility for women with eating disorders." Matthew 12:34 NIV says, “…For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” 

After the interview, I thought, "Oh man, that was a little presumptuous. What are they going to think of me?" friend, because I spoke it out, the right people found out about my dream and eventually started it with me. Today, this institution still exists, and many women are currently being helped there.

It would be such a shame if we never knew what our voice could do! That's why I encourage you friend: Speak! Listen inside yourself and then let it out!

You are a miracle!
