Stillness

Linking with Still Saturday  Laura at Faith Filled Friday  and Charlotte at Spiritual Sunday

"You can listen to silence, Reuven.You can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and dimension all its own. It talks to me sometimes. I feel myself alive in it. It talks. And I can hear it.” Chaim Potok, The Chosen

There are times I just crave silence. It's a need....to be alone....to get away from all the noise and busyness and go into the woods....or up in the hills.....somewhere outside in nature.....where it's quiet and I can listen for the whisper of His voice....and feel the awesome of the power of His gentleness. 

I come home changed - I'm stronger...more courageous, more determined to live life with greater compassion and trust. And I feel more connected to everything and everyone around me. 

Silence. 
In the silence...in the quiet...in the calm....I hear His voice.  
In the silence...He empowers me to stand up stand strong and never be afraid.   In the silence...I hear His song in my heart speaking peace. 

 Be still my soul
