you are not a mouse, but if you were you might also fall into traps.

He's worth way more than my silence. Well, when you put it like that....have you been saying enough?


Do not speak to fill a void,
For wisdom can be found in the unspoken.
But do not keep quiet and prevent a message
That throughout the years has not broken

Have courage, have strength,
Keep poise and have might
Remember all that you say
Is within God's sight


A few years ago I was privileged to see the Dead Sea Scrolls tour the U.S. as part of the event called Ink and Blood. The point behind the name was 2 key elements of the Bible's survival: ink and blood (sacrifice). So many people have been martyred (KILLED!) to keep the Bible around and to spread God's word, yet sometimes we are hesitant to bring it up when our only consequences may be awkward silence, a weird look, mocking, an offended friend or family member, even losing our job, etc....these do not compare. Remember you are merely the messenger, you have no magic. It is through and by the Holy Spirit and His timing that the Word of God will do its work. Don't miss that timing.

So next time you put your arrow down, remember you'll never hit your target if you do not release.

Praise God. Share God. Love God. In my opinion, the third (love God) cannot come without the other 2. What was it you were ashamed of, again?
