I’ve wrestled with the silence of God for awhile. I have wrestled with it through a divorce. I am wrestling with it through a job search. It’s been a lot of years with a lot of silence. I don’t understand.
Today I was reading through the blog of a man I don’t know. What I do know is that he just lost his wife and he has friends who love him, hurt with him and mourn with him. And I came across the following post. I hope he hears God through this dark time.
I hope I hear God soon.

Love is the answer to it all. Hard to believe in the face of difficulty. But God made us in His likeness and image, and isn’t God love? So to be love, we can only be love, it is our nature. The world pushes a different nature on us, and it can be a like a big overcoat that is comfortable but heavy to remove. Safe, warm, but in 90 degrees, stifling heat. Struggle is the 90 degrees. Let love breathe in your words, thoughts, keystrokes, actions. Let it be your all, receive and give and think only love. Not as a feeling, or obligation. It will change you. You stop asking and start giving… and then He can work again through your natural spirit. Read the greatest manifestation principle in the world. Live as He has planned for you, and not the plan of the world!
Thanks Cathy. I appreciate your thoughts and certainly agree that when I allow love to live through me, it changes my mind, heart and life. Yet, even with love, silence is still real. Even Jesus questions why God has forsaken him. Times of silence are not in absence of love but absence of God’s voice and action as we understand it. Sometimes His inaction is necessary. What if He had called 10,000 angels to stop Christ’s death on the cross? A scary thought. I can answer it was because of his enormity of love for all of us. Love still reigns, I just look forward to the day I am living in it along with the voice of God speaking loudly in my ear.
Yes yes, amen!
