Your True Voice Is Needed More Than Ever!

"The voice God has in Christ he now has in us. We are God's ambassadors. Our lives exhibit the urgency of God to persuade everyone to realize the reconciliation of their redeemed identity." 2 Cor. 5:20 (Mirror) Friends,   If there was ever a time when a voice of hope was needed, it’s now. If there was ever a time when a voice of encouragement was needed, it’s now. If there was ever a time when a voice of kindness was needed, it’s now. If there was ever a time when a voice of grace was needed, it’s now. If there was ever a time when a voice of love was needed, it’s now.   You have that voice because Christ is in you! Your voice of hope and encouragement and kindness and grace and love matters. It’s making a difference. Now, more than ever!   Heaven is our homeland. As an ambassador of God’s Kingdom, you are releasing heaven’s culture here on the earth. You are God's voice and God's heart! In union with Christ, you get to show up again today and be Jesus to a world of people that needs him!   Do you remember the Dr. Seuss story of Horton Hears a Who? In the end, what saved a tiny civilization from extinction was the voice of one seemingly insignificant little boy using his voice. The final line of the story was this: A person is a person, no matter how small.   An even truer kingdom truth is this: There’s no such thing as a small and insignificant person.   Do you know who you are and what you carry? Do you know that you are so significant that God chose to put his glory inside of you?   Not just any voice is needed right now. The world doesn’t need more resounding gongs and clanging cymbals. The world doesn’t need more noise, noise, noise, noise.   The people of this world need the peace of Christ dwelling within you. They need the joy of Jesus welling up from you. They need the real hope Holy Spirit continuously fills you with. The world needs the true voice of Christ in you.   The voice God has in Christ, he now has in us!   “We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips.” 2 Cor. 5:20 (Passion)                                                                                    Love, Pastor Brent
