Louder Than Words

January 11, 2009

Things have been pretty quiet here. But that’s okay.

When you get alone with God…and honor and embrace Him
for all that He is…

Holy
Changeless
Powerful
Peaceful
Generous
Genuine
All-knowing
Blessed
Beautiful
Glorious
Jealous
Just
Righteous
The source of all truth, wisdom, goodness…. love
Eternal
Perfect

…you may find yourself speechless. But that’s okay.

“Be still and know that I am God.”~ Psalm 40:10

Sometimes,

silence

speaks louder than a scream.

That awe-filled silence comes before complete surrender.

During college, I truly believe that my quiet moments, helped to get me through. I would take 10 minutes to sit still (eyes opened or closed- what helps you) without distractions.

I learned to embrace these times of reflection. When you don't have that time, you miss it. :)

Jamie,

When I start my mornings with quiet time alone with God, it makes a huge difference in my day and my life. I can be centered, focused and keep my head on the important things. When I don't, it's easy to get blown away.

I am a firm believer in the message of the silence.

Hi Jamie,
The idea of surrender, why is that such a tough one? Well, it is for me, anyway. Surrendering our lives to Christ, it sounds so good, and maybe even superficially I can say that I'm doing that. If I look deep, though, I know I'm not. I know I struggle with this, way more than I care to admit. Today, Jamie, that's what I'm seeing. I think I need some time in silence, alone with our God. And if I do this, I wonder how loud the silence will be, and what I will be hearing...

What you are doing, Jamie, is the right thing. Very much so...

Silence is always more powerful than words.
