I am not a silent kind of person,
because even when I am silent
you can see my feelings
you can see what I am thinking~
at least I think you can.
If I am silent it is because
I have nothing to say that you want to hear,
so sometimes it is just easier to say nothing
because I don't want to cause conflict.
But is it okay to keep silent about
JESUS?
To keep HIM in a box
because someone might find
HIM offensive.
To keep HIM quiet until a rainy day when someone is so desperate
that they have to ask
about HIM.
To keep HIM hidden
~because what if everyone then would really know how you felt about HIM
~because what if everyone would really know how HE changed you
~because what if everyone would really know that HE is REAL
~because what if everyone would really know that HE loves you
~because what if everyone would really know that
HE is your everything
AND
if you kept silent about HIM then you would be keeping the
REAL you silent
then what would be the point of your existence
if you had to keep
JESUS in a box
hidden for a rainy day
until someone looks into your eyes
and finally sees that
HE is the LOVE of your LIFE
because you wouldn't be anything or anybody
without HIM.
I am not a silent kind of a person
and I can't keep quiet
because
JESUS won't let me be quiet
because
JESUS wasn't born to be hidden
for a rainy day.
HE was born to be born into
every person's life
whether they believe it or not
because one day
I will not be able to contain my
JOY
when I meet JESUS face to face
and I know that
I will be so happy that I didn't keep
HIM in a box
because
JESUS came and took me out of a box that I constructed with my own two hands
that kept
not good enough Joni hidden for so many years
just waiting for those three words
I LOVE YOU
that replaced every word that wasn't truth
that tried to keep me hidden,
Oh Happy NEW YEAR
Oh Happy NEW MOMENT~
NEWS FLASH~
JESUS IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS~
"JESUS said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
The one who believes in ME will live, even though they die;
and whoever lives by believing in ME will never die.
Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)
And all you have to say is
“Yes, LORD,” she replied, “I believe that you are the MESSIAH,
the SON of GOD, WHO is to come into the world” (John 11:27)
Because
JESUS IS MORE THAN A RESOLUTION~
HE is
JESUS (listen to "If I Was Jesus" below)
