The betrayl of words......Amba

I was speaking at a youth group last night. Haha...I'm so incredibly not a "speaker", but I know the group really well and the Word for them was really clear! It wasn't an easy Word, but....
I dunno, do you ever get things placed in your heart, and it's so clear when you think about it; and it's this amazing revelation......that you just want to transfer it directly into someone else's heart, but somehow it gets lost in the tranlation of words? Like you leave a converstaion thinking..."Holy Spirit, I hope you intervened because there was no possible way my words could've connect my heart to theirs." Whenever I feel this way (when I'm speaking) subconsciously, I always use way more hand movements than neccessary just because I think it'll make something happen; some connection with God that I can't possibly do myself; perhaps in hope to jump start something in the heavenlies.
But too many times I walk away just feeling betrayed by words; that they didn't do thier job in communicating my heart. And that makes me feel ripped off! But reality states that my words aren't the Holy Spirit (as much as I hope they are guided by Him sometimes).
Maybe that's why quotes seem so attractive; people who have been able to find the words I've been searching for. :)

I totally agree Amba! I've been doing lots of Sunday preaches lately and it's so clear to me that God has a specific message and I get so excited to share it, but then it just comes out so wrong. I'm usually pretty good when it comes to expressing myself so I'm finding it a bit tragic lately that I suck at communicating. I just keep hoping that God is being honored by what's coming out of my mouth, because I'm never sure lately what will come out. I hope he'll fix me soon, or ask me to stop speaking...lol.

Love Ash
