sometimes it's quiet

sometimes it is
quiet

and that's ok

He loves
(i thank
 i praise)

He speaks
(i seek
 i ask)

He is
(i wait
 i trust
 i dwell)

~  ~

oftentimes the sharing is necessary,
needed.
and then there's a season like this
when this Truth is mine to learn. and
it is quiet
    (i am quiet)


He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;"
                             ~ Psalm 46:10

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens... ~Ecclesiastes 3:1

    I love this little quiet declaration. :)

    It reminds me that when I have a thousand thoughts and concerns and questions swirling around in my mind that I needn't give words to them all. That often the greatest clarity, the healing balm, the One who makes sense of it all..... comes in the quiet.

    Love,

  5. To be still, to listen, to hear and be moved by His still, small voice--it is an art that I want to give myself to fully. Your poem speaks the quiet I treasure. Thank you for sharing. Many blessings.
