Speak Out

Many people in their youth have experienced a bully. Someone who attacks them physically or perhaps even worse verbally. Verbal attacks can go unnoticed by others if done stealthily. Bullies can whisper things to us in passing that can strike deeply into our hearts. Someone bigger, someone bolder, someone older, speaks against us and endeavors to break our soul. Without a solid understanding of our own identity, these attacks can ensnare us and cage our hearts in fear.

Trying to fight back directly against such an attacker usually has little impact. We need to not fight back against the person, but against the words that they speak. We must be equally bold to speak the words of truth to ourselves. We must remind ourselves daily of our true identity. The thief comes not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. Our enemy, will use every means to disrupt our peace and composure. Words, whispered or words shot like an arrow may attack us all throughout the day. Harsh words of our past remembered must be spoken against Out loud. In today’s episode, I will be dealing with learning how to boldly speak out the truth. Give a listen.
