Purpose for Silence

It has been awhile since I have written a blog. There has been a purpose for my silence. When I started Bro. Michael's Thoughts I told you that I would write what the Lord gave me. Since my last post many things have changed in my life both good and bad. There have been great gains and some hard losses. Through it all I just simply kept walking along trusting God to do whatever He saw right. Through this time I heard silence.

Many things are absent during time of silence. Obviously noise and voices. Yet, during silence there are no distractions. You are forces to view things as they are and not how you want them or even desire them. In silence, you must face reality. Here is when it gets scary. Reality lets us know that we deserve nothing at all, and apart from God's grace there is nothing for us to enjoy. Reality says that we can lose everything we have and still have a whole lot more than we deserve. Reality also shows us that Someone really does care and His love sometimes puts us where we cannot hear Him.

I believe that there are specific times that God places us in these quiet times to enable us to get a fresh view, of Him. During these months, God has given me so many desires and such purpose to achieve them. Placing people in my life to keep me within the "boundaries" so there would be no way to miss what He has provided. Purpose for silence is that we are placed specifically in position to receive from God everything He has for us, and never miss seeing Him. I love His voice. I treasure the times He has touched me. The greatest gift is the time he did not say anything.

Hope you got some help and encouragement. Thats the purpose in this blog. May God Bless you.
