Rest

I went to a Youth Retreat, Ignite this weekend. One of our sessions was really teaching us on how we need cut out the noise. Focus on the silence of God. God gave me this.

Ever notice how the closer relationship you have with someone the more comfortable the silence?

I long for that intimate of a relationship with you. When we can just sit in silence, just being together. I am not a God who wants to fight to be heard. I also want to know you are serious about knowing me. You may not hear me speak right away, but if you really want to hear my voice, if you really want to hear my secrets, persist in patience, just be quiet. Shh. Shh. I will reveal my marvelous plans to you, as you continue to labour into my silence. It's ironic, but I speak the loudest in my silence. Important things are told when we're quiet. Things that are very dear to our hearts. When we know that it's okay to open up and know that we have the complete attention of our friend. Remove yourself from the noise, the busy-ness of life and just be silent. I'm waiting.

Powerful. I do encourage. Labour to find that silence.
