The silences of Jesus are as eloquent as His words
February 15, 2008
My love is silent because I love beyond the power of words to express it and beyond the understanding of the human heart. Also, it is silent for your sakes – that you may learn to love and trust Me with pure, Spirit-taught, spontaneous responses. I desire for your response to My love to be without the prompting of anything external.
God will do wonders never before done, if you learn the mystery of His silence and praise Him every time He withdraws His gifts from you. Through this you will better know and love the Giver.

If the last two weeks are thunderstorms and snowstorms, then this week would be the renewal and peace that comes from the wisdom earned from the faithful heart that petitions to God, who gives freely without asking.
My weak impatient heart cry out because I think that God does not answer at all or He answers in a way that I believe is less than the best. In fact, the silences of Jesus are as eloquent as His word and may be a sign not of His disapproval but of His approval and His way of providing a deeper blessing for me.
I will yet praise Him, even for His silence.
