A Voice Kinder Than My Own: God's voice within our hearts is a voice kinder than our own. It speaks to us that we are loved and valued, and there is grace and mercy. This is the voice that every human longs to hear. we can be that voice to those around us. Kindness kindles conversation and prepares the way for boldness.

To know how to reach out to others with the Gospel, I can reflect on how love reached me. Some are reached through conversation, others through inviting to church or a Christian event, many through the investment of a parent or adult in childhood.If you struggle with remembering that people are going to hell, try instead celebrating all the people going to heaven.And you will share Jesus more than ever.

Using the picture of a prophecy of a large family to a woman who had given up hope of bearing a child, God teaches us that steps of faith are the way to defeat the power of shame and disappointment.Enlarge the place of your tent...you will not be put to shame!
