Speak

Speak of what you know, speak from the heart, let the wisdom of the heart carry your speech and humility flood the soul.  Wisdom speaks in tongues that only those who choose to listen may hear; be of this select few for God's voice echoes throughout the soul pacifying anxiety.  Let not the troubles of humanity infringe upon your speech for many speak as they know; yet they know not.  Tempers flair and life quickly shackled by societal pressures causing lies to be spoken and wisdom to be ignored.  Ignore not this gift of wisdom for it is God's gift to see and know Him; wisdom is the expression of the soul capturing truth, capturing God in each moment, each breath.  How we see without eyes, hear without ears, feel without personal, tangible touch...this is gifted wisdom, this is God's gift of himself.  The leaves blow in the wind, some stay attached to the branch while others are loosed into the air, carried by the wind to a new resting place, inches or miles from where it originated.  Some would dare to say that the leaves remaining on the tree are stronger than those taken by the wind; others would refute just the opposite.  Yet both are true for while attached to the branches, the leaves are fed, nourished by the roots, where it blossoms and shades the tree until such a day that the wind takes it from the branch carrying the leaf to a new location.  We are the leaf, rooted that we may learn, rooted in faith that we may understand the truths of the heart, comprehend the Father's presence in our lives and recognize the Father's voice, all this comes from our rooting in the Father's love.  Then comes our time to soar, our time to live what we have learned, trust in the truths burning within our soul, act upon faith, and be free in the Spirit.  As the leaf moves where the wind blows, so, too, do we move where the Spirit takes us, where action and faith become one and we the witnesses of the Father's abundant love.  Swift our movements acting a one in tune with the Spirit, acting as one committed to establishing hope in a hopeless society.  Humbly we present ourselves as followers of Christ hoping wisdom understood as domineering our actions.  Rendering life a covenant of love between ourselves and God, our actions, our speech are part of the covenant whereby we react with the message of the heart, treating all persons a children of God and worthy of mercy, love, and forgiveness.  Therefore our speech much carry with it the Father's message of love, as well as the Father's promise of an intimate connection in this cold, cruel world.  Though many speak of abandonment and others resent love thus creating humanity's tendencies toward self reliance and active imitation of the calamities of the mind; we, each, are gifted with wisdom, the tool to confront the powers of the ego and slay the demons of the mind.  Wisdom is our shield, our armor, and our sword wrapped into one for wisdom is God present in our midst, no matter our location.  To speak the words of the heart is to allow the Father's wisdom to overtake the body, working through the distractions and demons presented by human jealousy and egotism, wisdom brings to light our reason for life, our connected breath with the Father.  To see, hear, and feel love in each moment; to see, hear, and feel hope with each pressing second; to see, hear, and feel the purpose of each encounter is to have opened the gift of wisdom and silenced the wretched mind.  Speech hindered by the mind is speech which cannot be trusted for it is tainted by the tongue of deceit while manipulated by prideful boasting of ignorance coupled with arrogant redirection of egotistical 'truths'.  Allow speech to come from the heart, allow the message and absolute truths of the Father be reflected in action as well as heard via a faith-filled tongue. Speak of what you know, speak from the heart, let the wisdom of the heart carry your speech and humility flood the soul; then, and only then, will life's purpose be understood in light of wisdom for with every turn the Father is seen, with every breath the beat of the Father's heart is heard in sync with our own, and with ever wind is felt the Father's kiss upon our cheek.  Speak of what you know, speak of life wrapped in the Father's love, guided by the Spirit, and rooted in faith.  Loosed are we to speak such truths of the heart, free are we to be carried by the wind that we may further spread the message of the Father.  Speak of what you know...speak from experiences of faith governed by wisdom...speak the words of the heart.
