Not Shaken, Not Stirred

Yet To Be #255

When you listen to the noise surrounding your life, you hear many voices.
Some voices speak words of comfort and peace.
Where others utter words that are sad, and dark, words that are not edifying but disturbing and destructive. These are the loudest and most persistent because they bring along with their burdens of fear and torment.
Finally, there are voices of truth. Truth is a funny thing. It gives freedom in the face of guilt. It gives transparency when there is no vision, yet truth can be dark. Dark only because it shines a light in areas you strive to keep hidden.
These are the voices that should be heard.
Although their sting can be painful, their resolve is sure and honest.
As you listen to those words of truth, you begin to hear the voice of the Lord in a sea of noise. By His words of truth, you become unshaken and not stirred by the changing matters of this life. When you follow the Word of God and look to Jesus, his only begotten Son, you learn life is worth living.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death; I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Psalm 23 verse 4

Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning". View all posts by Jemmie Jems
