It has only been 19 months since our daughter, Brittany, gave birth to our first grandchild – a little girl named Isabella Marie Patterson. Mark and I are totally enthralled with this little girl. She fills our hearts! We can’t help talking about her to anyone who listens. I’m not afraid to talk about her. I don’t plan in advance how I will talk about her. I don’t worry about offending someone with my talk about her. I don’t go to classes to learn how to talk about her. I don’t read books on how to talk about her. I pick up Isabella, feel her snuggle up against me, smother her with kisses, and melt! Isabella fills my heart. And what fills my heart comes out on my lips.
Why do we seem to make speaking up for Jesus so complicated? If He fills our hearts, He is going to come out on our lips! Like Peter and John, we will not be able to help “speaking about what we have seen and heard” of him!
