Voice of Truth

I hear voices. No, I'm not crazy. You probably hear them, too. The ones that whisper: "You're no good" or "You're a failure because you can't find a job" or "Everybody thinks you're a loser." Sometimes these voices progress from a whisper to an all-out scream. "YOU STINK." "GRADE A FAILURE." "YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT."

Some of us are more sensitive to these voices than other people are. It seems like we choose to listen to what the voices say whenever we are going through a difficult time. We may hear the voices when we are on a mountaintop, but they are merely muffled background noises. When we go through the valley, these voices sound like they are coming through a freaking megaphone.

Never fear. There is one voice who will turn the mic up loud to overpower the destructive voices that we listen to. This voice speaks Truth.

"Don't worry...I've got your back. I'm here for you."

"I have a plan for you. This is just a season. There is hope on the other side."

This voice is what we need to listen to. It will tell us a different story. A different perspective. A better idea. A better voice. We have to choose to listen to it and believe it, though. It's a choice. Choose the Voice of Truth and ignore the other voices.
