Voice

Sometimes I can't find my voice. People ask how I am and I want to tell them it hasn't been the best of times and I'm fighting just to keep the normal, but I my voice chokes and I say I'm fine.

 So they smile and nod and say good and I want to fling myself upon them begging for them to listen, but my voice won't let me.

You go to church and sit in the pew. All around you sit people and afterwards you get up to talk to them and they say everything is fine.

Are they really using their real voice? Or are the words that are choked out faked to show a false security?

Everyone has a voice, but more often then not they aren't using it. Their using the fake voice to show the world that everything is just fine. Too often we fall for the trap. We believe everything is fine and go on in our merry way ignoring the problem.

Look for the hidden voices. The ones that need to be heard and listened too.The voices that are weary and need to be rested in the Lord.

Are you listening?
