Mute Moments

For someone opinionated and have much to share, there was a time that I became mute. Not in the literal sense of the word but mute in terms of not wanting to speak. I was either afraid of voicing out my deepest problems and facing the repercussion of putting it out in the open or ashamed of admitting the evil I tolerated or the good I have brushed aside. The Lord said cast your burdens unto Him so we could find rest. May we find courage to lift up those that make us mute...our insecurities and our fears so we could find peace and be liberated from those that chain us to sin.

My silent days are now over since Jesus became part of my life. I can now openly say that I was hurt and I rebuke pain. I can now claim peace and healing. I wish to remain transparent and true in all my dealings with people. I can now laugh at myself because He took my burdens away.

The ability to speak though should not be abused. It should be meant to heal not to hurt. It should pave the way for understanding and peace and not cause chaos or confusion. As they say, we need to tame our tongue...else, it would lead us to further sin. The words we speak and those we don't should both find origin and meaning from our Maker. Only when we are liberated from our own "mute" mode, can we speak to people about how light and how happy it is to remain in His presence.

My friend, I wish your liberation today from your "mute mode" moments. God bless!
