Speak: Don't be Afraid

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel

Ephesians 6.19

 I was talking to some of the youth about how I missed out on a lot of opportunities because of fear. What kind of fear you ask? The fear to speak. To say what I needed to say. Growing up I was always quite timid. Afraid to speak up for myself when someone would put me down. Afraid to give my opinion because of the fear that someone would disagree or make fun of what I had to say. I was even afraid to ask for things or say that I wanted to do something, because of the fear of being told no.

 But today, I after attending the talent show, I was able to dominate my fears. I left all of my fears to raise my voice on that stage. From now on, when your thoughts tell you not to speak, speak even stronger. When God puts words in your mouth, don't be afraid to speak. Because the words He places in your mouth, can change someone's life. 

                                                 So, Speak. Don't be afraid.
