Matthew 9:32-37

A man was brought to Jesus, a dumb demoniac. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke and the people were amazed. ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel’ they said. But the Pharisees said, ‘It is through the prince of devils that he casts out devils.’

And his first words were “I just want to say to my wife and children, I love you.” Then they embraced and cried tears of joy.

That’s a Lawman addition but you can add your own ending to this beautiful story. Are there some things you are not able to speak? Is it because of the times we live in or the place you are in relationship. People see you quite and they assume you don’t have much to say. Well thank you for holding your tongue. That takes discipline.

Jesus today freed this fellow and helps him find his voice. Isn’t it beautiful when your child finally finds their own voice which you know they will lose as they grow and have to find it again? May we that community that says “speak your joys and sorrows here.”
