Voices

There are two voices, which seek to get your attention and win your acceptance.  One wants to remind you of how far you have fallen, how desperately hopeless you have become and how terribly sad life is afterall.  The other desires to show you how near help is, how much potential you have and how wonderfully full life can be.  

One voice is lying, wanting only to drag you down like a lion seizing a gazelle, holding you in it's grip until you give up and helplessly are devoured.

The other voice is proclaiming truth, wanting to lift you up from muck and mud into which you have fallen, holding you in His arms, freeing you from the jaws of death.

There are two voices: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10).  One voice wants you to give up the other voice wants you to get up.  One voice says it's over, the other voice says it's just beginning.  One voice wants to take your joy, the other voice wants to give you joy.

To which voice will you listen?  Which voice will you believe?  Which voice will you follow?  Jus' Askn.
