A Bible Devotion

I love this one!

Thank you.

I know the difference today between isolation and solitude...I no longer enjoy isolation but I so enjoy solitude. It is in the quiet that God speaks and writes His sacred truths on my heart. I love hearing His gentle voice.

One of my most favorite meditational readings ends with the following....

"Fill up the space between you and God with a silence that waits for God, acknowledges his great love for you,anticipates that he is with you. If anything can go without saying, let it go. An absence of spoken words brings the quiet that makes possible the awed awareness of God.

Create within your environment and within your heart a chapel-hush that makes of your soul a sanctuary for the presence of God."
