Things left unsaid....

Do you ever find you have left things unsaid…that needed to be said? Suddenly it’s too late to go back and say what you really wanted to say. The opportunity is gone. The person is gone. The audience is gone. Suddenly its an awkward situation trying to go back and say what we really wanted to say…our should have said. There are clearly times when something deep within us (Holy Spirit many times) is prompting us to say something. Maybe its words of affirmation, encouragement or love. Other times its standing up for what is right…in the face of what is wrong.

As we transition from this time of Thanksgiving into Christmas we will be faced with numerous times to just share from our heart. Many times with family or friends…other times with complete strangers. Will I be ready…will you be ready?

Here are the lyrics from one of my favorite songs by Kutless.

"It's Like Me" by Kutless from the project Sea of Faces
My conversation is leading nowhere
And we talk of God but still I don't share
So many times that I just never saw the chance
It's like me to never see
When it came, when it went
Now it's gone away
It's so like me to never see
When it came, when it went
Now it's gone away
The phone rings with news that he's gone
Just the time I shared my heart was prepared and another soul was won
So much truth to tell, I am so glad I saw the chance
It's like me to never see
When it came, when it went
Now it's gone away
It's so like me to never see
When it came, when it went
Now it's gone away
Sometimes I still never see when perfect opportunities come my way
Would my care increase if I truly believed that a life could be saved
It's like me to never see
When it came, when it went
Now it's gone away
It's so like me to never see
When it came, when it went
Now it's gone away
