The angel visited Mary to tell her she would have Jesus

- the Word was spoken - Luke 1:44, "As soon as the sound of your

greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy." The Jesus

in you excites people, just the sound of your voice and the dreams, the

dead or dormant embers that God has called someone to, ignites, leaps

within them. God has put in you power for others. Like Paul, who

received exceeding great revelations not for himself, but for the world,

for grace, for us. What was in Mary ignited something in Elizabeth. Like

Mary, you carry Jesus, the incorruptible seed. God places His word in

you and people will hear your voice. Sometimes you may feel like you

want to help others, but are you really having an impact? You tried to

encourage a friend, but you're not sure it did anything. Or Christians

who aren't sure they have anything to offer, you wonder, well, what

could I say to make a difference, what could I do? It's a big messed up

world. Can I really help? Why would someone listen to me? What can my

voice do? Your voice is capable of articulating God's voice - the word

of God within in you.
