The message of Christ speaks life and love into any situation. In this video, The Voice contestant Jershika Maple sings, “God Only Knows,” and it leaves Kelly in tears.

During this incredible performance and powerful message, Jershika begins by standing still singing on the stage in the middle of the dark with spotlights and artistic church windows.

She begins singing her lyrics as if she is telling a story to a friend. Her use of voice, honesty, and even hand motions draw you into her message that no matter what you are going through God is the only one who truly knows and has been on the journey with you the entire time.

Jershika shines in the chorus when she jumps an octave and wows the audience. She begins to walk around sharing the message clearly of this song. We continue to see clips of Kelly Clarkson tearing up over the song choice and performance. She and John Legend stand to their feet during the song. Kelly cries and John celebrates.

Jershika has been given a unique platform to share Christ with the world. She is using her voice to point people to Jesus. She is very talented and an authentic performer.

How are you using your skills as a platform to point others to Jesus? We each have giftings and abilities that we can use for the kingdom of God. It is a joy to celebrate the joy and life we have in Christ through our talents.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
