More Butterflies open their voices to bring hope to the poor and needy

God is opening the voices of women believers all over the world whose hearts have been broken and are now being healed and restored to speak out on His behalf.

Proverbs 31:8-9 urges us to “Open your voice on behalf of those who have no voice, on behalf of the poor and the needy.”

Yet how can we open our voices to help the poor and needy  if our own hearts are broken or distracted.  Jesus taught that it’s “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34).  If our hearts are broken or filled with the desires of this world, women speak from a heart of bitterness, sorrow, unbelief, anger, shame, fear, pride, discontent.  But once Jesus heals our hearts and fills our hearts with His love and truth, our mouths speak out His praise with joy and gladness bringing hope and comfort to others.
