Silence

"Can anybody hear me? The silence is deafening." These two sentences set a light bulb off over my head. For the past two days, I've just felt distant from God for some reason. Almost like He wasn't with me, but when I heard these two sentences in a song by Meredith Andrews, I knew exactly what it was. Because I was so focused on feeling like God wasn't there, I missed His quiet presence. The silence was so "deafening" that I was too focused on it! Even when I cried out to God, I couldn't hear His reply. So many times, I know I have experienced this, the feeling of being unheard by God. Almost like He doesn't want to listen to me anymore. But, my friend, this is so untrue! My Heavenly Father hears me at all times, and never leaves my side. And nothing I do can separate me from His unending love. No amount of wrong I do will turn Him away. He will forgive me over and over. His love is unconditional and His mercy is new every morning. If I do something that seems worthy of His wrath, He will forgive me, and go right back to loving me. As I write this, I have to smile. That is just so amazing. His love is truly a comfort at all times. Even when I'm lonely, and I feel like He is a thousand miles away, He is right by our side, and ready to reveal Himself to us!
