I realize that I often pay too much attention to what I’ll call my
“God-colored voice.” It’s the voice that tries to say the socially
acceptable thing instead of speaking spiritual truth. It’s the “churchy,
feel-good voice” that aims to please everyone, even when a harder truth
needs to be spoken.
But there is a difference between the voice of the
Holy Spirit - who never holds anything back - and my own self-shaped,
God-colored voice, which only leads to lukewarm choices.
Those choices
may feel right in the moment, but they are usually tailored to my own
comfort rather than to God’s desire, or the obedience the moment
demands.
