In modern society,
where hype looms larger than truth, one can easily become ‘spiritually jaded’
and buy into a worldview which suggests that you and your voice are far too
inconsequential to be heard.
Fact is, the Creator
gave you a distinctive mission and a unique voice that the world (aware or not)
urgently needs to experience. YOU matter.
Let’s prayerfully
consider an instructive allegory:
“Tell me the weight
of a snowflake,” the dove required of the mouse.
“Nothing more than
nothing,” was his dismissive answer.
“Since that is your
belief, I must share my story,” the dove replied excitedly.
“One winter day, I
was perched on the branch of an evergreen when it began to snow – not heavily,
not a raging blizzard – but descending ever so gracefully without wind or
sound. Since I had nothing better to do, I counted the snowflakes
settling on the twigs and needles of my branch. The number that fell that
day was 3,741,952. But when snowflake number 3,741,953 dropped onto my
branch, weighing ‘nothing more than nothing’ as you say, the branch immediately
broke.”
“Perhaps,” concluded
the dove, “we need one tiny voice that will change the whole world.”
Many years ago, my
brother, Bishop Edwin C. Bass, penned an inspirational book entitled, “I Won’t
Be Silent Anymore.” I stand in wholehearted agreement with his title
thesis. Today is a critical time (our time) to breathe out eternal truth,
i.e. to freely share the unvarnished gospel truth with contemporary society. Political
correctness has caused so many of us to mute our voices while the secular world
audaciously advances an emboldened agenda of unrighteousness.
So speak!
According to the Word, the whole earth “eagerly waits for the revealing [the
manifestation] of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19, NKJV) It’s a life or
death matter. DECLARE THE GOSPEL EVERYWHERE!
Sisters and
brothers, be continually blessed and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE
READY TO MEET YOUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
