Some Things You Need To Know About Me - God (part 3)

Silence is something that I see that is very undervalued in your culture. There is more mental clutter and endless noise before each of you, that it is any wonder so many struggle with decision making, moral issues and just a certain stability. Silence is undervalued until I am accused of being silent. Then people take two varied positions; one is glad that they can’t hear me and the other is desperate for my voice. From my vantage point (which is pretty clear) I see that both groups are quite desperate to hear from me.

What is so wrong with me being silent? Why should I bend to speak to you folks? Because you want me to speak, or that your need me to speak? Is it that you have a passionate desire to hear from me, or that you are just carnal enough to be curious as to what I might say?

Silence could be considered not an issue with my speaking; but moreover an issue with your hearing, would you not agree? You humans call it, “selective hearing”, right? Meaning, that you only hear what you want to hear. That would certainly reduce accountability! Right?

I am going to let you in on something:
When I am silent:
-Do not assume I am inactive
-Do not assume I am distant
-Do not assume I am powerless
-Do not assume I am disinterested
-Do realize that I have your best interest at heart.
-Do realize every event in life is at my disposal to be used to impact not only you, but others.
-Do realize that I am more concerned with your character and eternal impact than your pleasure and comfort.
-Do realize that you are not the center of the universe.
-Do realize that when you think I am silent; my silence may be the loudest voice I want to use.
-Do realize that I do not have to speak in order to communicate.
-Do realize that my “silence” may have more to do with your willingness to obey than my willingness to speak!
-Do realize that my “assumed” silence may be your greatest opportunity to stay close to me.
Here is my advice:
WHEN I AM “SILENT”:
TRUST ME
SEEK ME
HANG WITH ME!
