Let Your Voice Be Heard

There is a voice in all of us, that is silenced, or attempted to be so, at one time or another, by the world/people around us.

From the child who has never been shown what love is, the woman who is stripped of her own worth by an abusive partner, boyfriend, or husband, the elderly who have been forgotten, the homeless person who feel less than human because of the way we look at them, or the person who has simply lost their joy- their own will to live; everyone deserves to know that they are valued, and their cry for love is heard. No matter what category any of us may fit into, the titles we carry, economic class we operate from, skin colors, or gender, we are born with; in truth- we all just want to be loved.

There is no issue, or person, any less important than the other. Simply put; we are all in this together. Take a moment out of each day to look at another person and let them know they are valued, that their plea for love is granted. Sometimes, you don’t even have to say anything, just acknowledge their existence. Whether it be holding the door for someone at the market, or saying a kind word to a stranger, no act of kindness is gone unnoticed, even if you don’t hear the words “thank you.” If we wait to be recognized for everything little thing that we do, we may never do much at all. Often times, we think because we donate money to a charity or go to church every Sunday, we are doing enough. Open up to where you can implement the greatness of who you are, in your daily life, not just in the way that we only think make us "good people".

The whole world is crying to be heard, in most cases, including ourselves. Find your own value-first, so you may use that value in encouraging others to find theirs. If we learn to recognize the value in ourselves, we will recognize the value in each other.

Let your voice be heard so that you may hear the voice of others.

YOU ARE VALUED!

Many Blessings- RRIII
