(A tribute to the voices of Jesus-followers who have allowed Him to speak through them to us by both their words and lives, Thank you for being His willing vessels. I thank God for my church family. Thank you Jesus ultimately for lending your voice right when we need it, speaking words to us we need to hear that help us forward in our Christian journey. We love you. We thank and praise you).

Voices through time from both present and past, speaking to us words of grace and truth, from experience and a faith that will last, They deliver to us messages filled with faith and hope and love, expecting nothing in return, but to point our eyes and hearts to our precious Lord above. These voices, they say things, such as, Don’t you give up! And keep pressing on! God’s word will never return void, or useless, and Remember you are never alone. Thank God for these voices from His children of the faith, ones who have been redeemed by God’s own saving grace, not by works of anyone lest any should feel the right to boast, no, these redeemed ones give us the gift of words, they speak life and peace, grace and truth to us, pointing to the One who matters most. Every one of God’s own deserves an applause, a commendation of some kind, because God lives and works through His redeemed ones, and inside each heart His same love that rescued us, is there for all to find. But the One who changes lives and hearts, Our Jesus who still seeks to save, is the only One His family longs to magnify, For only He our sins forgave. And now we desire to make Him known, because He above all is worthy, the gracious King of Kings, Beside Him there is none, without Him there is nothing, no stars, moon, clouds, nor sun. But with Him and in Him and through Him flows everything we ever will need, so when a message is given, it is God working through His servants for our good, because we are all the pages someone else will read. In everything we point to Him and His precious name alone, and we thank Him for those present voices who now speak to us, and the echoing voices from those ones who have passed on. Remember now these voices, the faith-filled voices of the gifts from the Father’s hand, may we never take them for granted, but value them highly, for God through them helps us stand. And for that comforting voice of the greatest One we have come to know, to hear, Let us remember always to be grateful, for with His words, He tells us we are loved, and that He is always near. Praise Him! Praise His name above all, and take time to hear the voice of Our Shepherd, for at any moment, He may call, speaking to your heart, speaking to mine, we never know the place, it could happen any time, words of truth and words of grace, pointing our hearts toward the Father’s face, what does He desire to say to us today, Give us ears to hear, Jesus we pray. And help us your chosen ones to stay silent when you would have us to, and help us, Lord, to speak a word to someone, to encourage them to make it through, Like continue on the race, do not Faint, God is on your side today, Jesus is not done with you, for when we Let Him speak through even us, we are doing what He has called us to do. Thank the Lord again for the voices of the faith, they strengthen and they help us to continue on our Christian race, and they help direct our eyes back toward the father’s face. Because compared to our Jesus when He walked this earth, our faith can at any time come up short and be frail, but praise Him alone for His unfailing voice of strong comfort, and for these Christian voices, for with God in our boat speaking, breathing on our sails, we can boldly launch forth in the deep waters, loudly proclaiming,
Our God, He never fails!
Romans 15:11 and Romans 16:1 (KJV)--
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 
I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
