It’s true and widely accepted phenomenon that we have our inner and outer self. A certain number of person shows the opposite of their inner self. Some did what is the opposite of what our inner voice tells us. Discovering our true inner self or voice will help in our journey of life.
Today is Pentecost Day for Christians worldwide. I don’t intend to write anything at first. Yet somehow I ended up writing this small piece, which keeps ringing in my mind.
If I am to make several confessions of some of the thought I was prompt to perform should my inner voice didn’t stop me, it would be quite surprising as well as expected of me.
Taking you back to the time I have spent enough time in the hospital, there are times when I want to leave behind my frail body.
My mind could not help me to see through till the end of the hospital corridor. However, my mind was racing to run out, taking things in my hand, to run through towards the outside even if it means what we don’t want it to be. I was there long enough, out-and-back a number of times, enduring a hard time. Yet my inner voice stopped me.
Regarding a few of my investments made, the waiting is hard. Many times I regret not following my inner voice. Yet I still have hopes in it although some losses are coming in the way, which I foresee. And, people who persuade me didn’t bail me out. You can’t put the blame either. Some decisions are worth rethinking although it doesn’t help anymore.
In my relationships with people near or far, the semi-introverted me caused me lots of trouble. Many times I’m not simply uttering words as if waiting for my inner voice. Not expressing my love and care at the right time and place cost me some.
In my blogging, writing, and publishing skill, I listen to my inner voice. I may not see much success. Yet it akes me glad that what I do is very close to my heart. I only pray seeking help and blessings from the Lord. Although everybody wants success, for now and for me writing is my friend and my way of expressing my inner voice.
It’s disturbing to say that I chose to stay silent-stubbornly silent, which isn’t a good behavior of a person. I’d rather show y love in action and words if I could. The problem is that me being silent doesn’t stop me from thinking about the situation but simply delays my anger.
A word in time could have saved me, number of times. Some questions and remarks deserve a befitting reply. Yet I simply did not speak. That is why I find it very difficult to have conversations with my dear ones to my heart’s content. There is something inside me which I find it very difficult to keep out in the open.
Sometimes it helps in calming tense situations but always not!
For Christan readers, Jesus Christ warned the disciples not to venture out declaring and/or preaching the Gospel till the Helper, which is the Holy Spirit has come. They waited for him to dwell in them and with them. There is a great change in their discipleship. They became bold in evangelism. They preach without fear. John 14:15-18, Acts 1:4-8
Today, several preachers evangelize with a certain fear of failure. They preach with wisdom, they withheld the Holy Spirit in them. It is sad to see that some people did not let the Spirit speak for them. Their inner voice is their knowledge. They are not hearing from the sovereign God of whose word and mission they are doing.
The indwelling of the helper gives us the strength to go through pain and suffering although it is most unwelcome and unexpected. Enduring our ill-fated journey, as some may describe, with the spirit makes it easier. I do believe it will serve us good for eternity’s life.
The Comforter
When I grief, it is the comforter who comforts me. He gives me words, sometimes from the scripture directly, or to recollect what is good. And, brought me to see the silver linings out of it, one at a time.
Sometimes, while talking to a very sick person or grieving people it is obvious that when I listen to my inner voice he gives me words to utter. If it’s going to serve good he also makes me listen uninterruptedly. I do not possess nor do I have the knowledge to be with them in such times. The Lord provides.
Who is your inner voice?
This is the important question I wanted to ask you today. You cannot discover your inner voice. You’re a born sinner. The inner self inside you is evil, you need change. Our original inner voice is selfish, jealous, wanting us to doubt the truth about our creator.
These days ‘you are what you’re thinking, ‘you are your inner self, etc. Salted with a humane touch is doing the rounds. They are up for grabs for everyone and are convincing. Before you grab them study the roots. Yet you might still grab them. It might make your living lighter at some level but not until the Kingdom of God is established in its entirety.
Here’s one thing I want you to consider: your inner voice can be the Holy Spirit, which comes from God, the living God has promised. Acts 2:2-4 For that you have to open your heart for the dead, buried, and resurrected Jesus Christ.
Where does your inner voice come from?
One more question to ask ourselves. We should be clear about it. There’s a way to the Father If not, we’ll be led astray by the way of the world. It is because each of us claims we have our inner voice, which at least we wanted to listen to at the time. Especially in the morning and while we’re alone. For some, it would be before they go public about who they are, what they’re about to preach.
If our inner voice is the One promised by the Savior, we will stay connected to our God despite what may come in life. We will stay protected, strengthened, guided, and comforted should we give time and listen to him.
