The Silence of God

Silence. The silence of God. The silence of God when you need to hear His voice the most.

How can He leave me here, withdraw His presence? How can He not call out to me in the midst of my most painful trials? The silence of God is silent. His silence is torturous. His silence stings the soul.

Did Christ on the cross experience the silence of His Father? I'd like to know. I think maybe, just maybe, He did. Jesus is able to sympathize with my most desperate moments on this earth.

When the Father is silent His Word speaks to us. His Word is our comfort when we can't hear His still, quiet voice in our hearts. My Father, my silent Lover, spoke to me today. He broke His silence with His Word. And it was sweet, and it was refreshing, and it was all I ever needed. Thank You my Quiet Salvager.
