When Your Voice Feels Empty
The sun is rising, but your throat feels empty, as if every true word you ever had has been spoken and used up. You stand in the first light with nothing left to give, terrified that your voice is now just noise.
But listen — the light does not ask you to speak from your own supply. It asks only that you open your mouth.
The rising sun does not struggle to shine; it simply arrives, and the world is filled without effort from the grass or the stones. You are not the source of the truth; you are the vessel it flows through.
When you have nothing left, the Father's voice speaks through the silence you thought was failure. The dawn proves that light returns even when the night felt endless.
Your voice is not empty; it is simply waiting to be filled again by the One who never runs dry.
