Voiceless

I've been unable to post all day. I kept getting an error message. I also tried to comment on the emergingcggc blog and got the same error message. It felt weird. Sort of a cross between being censored and being sick.

I can't imagine not having a voice. Not being able to speak. Or not being able to have a say in anything.

I think there are probably a lot of people in the world who have so much to say, but don't feel they have a voice... don't feel they have a right, or don't have the courage, or the self-confidence.

Jesus said we are to speak up for those with no voice. I read an article this morning directed at pastors... the author encouraged pastors to look after those who were quiet. Partly because someone needs to look after them, partly because they have a lot that needs said... that "should be" said. I'm wondering how to best go about that. It's hard with quiet people. Because sometimes they're quiet because they WANT to be. Or, maybe they're only quiet around me. At any rate, it requires a great deal of listening to hear what a voiceless person has to say.

Patience.

What do you hear God saying? Does he have a voice in your life? Hmm.

Peace. Revolution!
