Silence

It's in the moments of silence that I begin to wonder if God is still there. Does He still care? Doubt rushing in, fear that my relationship with Him is slipping. Maybe if I read more He wouldn't be so silent. Maybe if I prayed more His voice would meet my ears. Maybe if I would serve more I would be given the honor of hearing His voice.

But I have come to realize it's in these moments that He is working more than ever in my life. He is stretching me, breaking me, renewing me, building me. It's in these moments of silence that I have learned to persue my God harder. To search deeper. To run after Him with my whole heart.

I have learned to accept theses times of silence with my hope in what I know to be true. That He will never leave me nor forsake me. That He will continue His work in me until it is complete.

The silence He gives is a gift for my soul.
God is taking me deeper, swallowing me whole.
