Most of us have probably been through a period of time, that somehow, God seems silent. And sometimes it seems like He doesn’t care at all. We go through a rough patch, we ask him for direction and purpose, for comfort, for His love
But it seems like He says nothing at all…
Is silence really a measure that God, or a person doesn’t care about you?
When a child grows up, his parents nurture, care and protect the child. When he grows older, he learns to walk on his own, to go out into the world and face it. And he grows, not because his parents held his hand all the way and refused to let go, but slowly, surely, let him find his space and independence.
Silence is a test of our faith. And it doesn’t mean God is not there or loves us any less. He’s there, watching us, and feeling all our hurt and pain. But He knows that it’s only through the testing of our faith that leads to preserving, and perseverance must finish its work for us to be complete, not lacking anything (James 1:4).
Somehow this thought came to me about loving others… Not saying anything might be the best way to go, because letting go is a form of love… if it’s the right thing to do… for this season in time…

I said a prayer for you today,
that everything will be okay
& that you may find joy, hope and strength from others around you.
