About the silence of His love…

Acts 8:32 The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth." (NIV)

We all live in the continual silence of God’s love. We may live and sometimes lust for a booming voice from God to roll across the skies. Or we may live and lust for a booming voice from God to sound in our ears. However, for most of us common folk who struggle to get by each day, we hear no booming voice roll out across the skies or in our ears. For most of us, we live in the silence of God’s love. In the silence of His love, when you quiet your heart for just a moment, you can hear His heart beating just for you. In the silence of God’s love, when you quiet your heart for just a moment, you can hear His hand erase all the sins and mistakes of your life when you tell Him you are sorry. In the silence of His love, when you think no one knows you exist, you can hear God say “I love you” in ways words cannot describe. When you think there is no way anything will ever work out in the future and the future looks hopeless, in the silence of God’s love you can hear Him filling the hopper of your heart with His hope and with His promise for eternity. For the truth of truths is you do not need a booming voice from God to resound in your ears because the silence of His love resounds within your heart this minute and for all the minutes of your life in the days to come.
