Have you ever considered the power of the voice? God spoke the world into existence (even though he could have merely thought all of creation into being); Christ's words are written in red in the Bible; a kind word can change a bad day. Alternately, a harsh word can be debilitating. Words CAN hurt us. The book of James, chapter 3, details this distinction. Words can be either life-giving or, literally, take a life.
Have you taken time to consider the impact of others' words on your life? How have they breathed life into your difficult circumstances? How have they suffocated you? If we're not careful, others can steal the power of our voice. You have a God-given right to your voice; He intends for you to discover it and use its power to speak life into others' lives. Sometimes, we need help rediscovering our lost voices. That's part of the benefits of counseling. Like the Disney movie The Little Mermaid, has someone stolen your voice? Trust in the Prince of Peace and King of kings to bring restoration.
