Five Minute Friday~ Voice

Voice. It comes from within, but I'm not always sure that I know how to express it.

Sometimes it is timid.  I have something to say, but I am tentative.  Will my voice make a difference?  Does anyone care?

Sometimes it is loud.  And obnoxious.  I respond out of anger and the pain and hurt that run so deep and threaten to break my heart in two.

And then I find it in the midst of the quiet.  I take my time to sit at His feet.  I rest there knowing that He wants to speak through me.  He wants to accomplish His will in me.  He wants to be glorified through my voice.

It is then that the harmonies rush out of me, mixing with the other voices that are being raised for His kingdom work.  It is then that my selfishness is shut out and my voice is joined with the others in bringing glory to my King.

The timid is gone.  The loud is gone.  My voice is simply joining with the others.  Because it is not about me. And my voice needs to be heard and at the same time it doesn't.  It is meant to support and compliment and blend with the others.

For His glory.  For His alone!

I am joining in Five Minute Friday LIVE at the Allume Conference.  In awe of the goodness of God for this opportunity to be with the beautiful FMF community.  Would love to hear your voice joining with the others for Five Minute Friday with Lisa-Jo!
