“We need to
find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend
of silence.
See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the
stars,
the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...
We need silence to be
able to touch souls.”
Mother Teresa
On the
cliffs, by the sea, I can hear the ocean roar.
It is the kind of roar that quiets
my soul.
Quiet my
soul and listen!
Deep inside there is a whisper
I love the Mother Theresa quote. And this is so true, I need to quiet myself down to hear the voice of God.
SvaraRaderawonderful reminder here, thank you!
SvaraRaderaI see we both found the roar of silence/quiet...just in different places. love it!
SvaraRaderaThis just made me think of "Be still and know that I am God" It's so beautiful that out of the "roar" comes the still and the quiet and the power and majesty of the Lord. Thanks for your beautiful words
SvaraRaderaI love your line about it being the kind of roar that quiets your soul. My mother loves to be near the ocean, especially rocky coastlines. I see that in her as well--the way it quiets her soul. Hearing that still, small voice is so worth quieting the soul. Blessings.
