What did you hear?

Wait, did you hear that? No? Listen closer.  There, did you hear it?  It is the sound of the world stopping, the sound of silence.   When was the last time you pushed the pause button on the mind?  When was the last time you put down your phone and watched a sunrise?  When was the last time no music was playing that you may hear you heart speak?  When was the last time you turned your tv off at night and just listened?  This is not to say be alone with your own thoughts but your heart, your soul, with the Father; silence the mind, the Father already knows your needs, just be present in His love...
Presence
No thought
No sound
Just experience
Just be
Who you are
Who God knows you to be
No masks
No pretend
In the silence feel
Feel the Father’s love
He gives it to you
Accept it
Embrace it
Become it
Now hear
Hear Him call out your name
Hear Him recognize your greatness
Accept this greatness
Become this greatness
Now see
See the Father wrapped in the world
See how He is presence in every aspect
Accept His presence 
Become the you He knows
Experience His reality
A great reality in which He has invited you
Step into this reality
Embrace it as your own
In the silence there is speech
In the silence there is a harmony
Your heart intertwined with the Father
Wordless words echo in the soul
You hear
You know
You see
You feel
All that He is 
All that He knows you to be
Without the calamity of the mind all is understood
Truths are made clear
The heart free to speak
The soul free to listen
In this silence it is you
The real you 
Embraced by the Father
You feel special
For you are special
You feel loved
Loved like no mortal can
For you are deeply cherished by the Father
Now is the time to recognize so closeness
Now is the time to be
The mind will soon return to its thoughts
The distractions will quickly return
Now is the time to learn the signs
Learn the feelings
Of the Father’s love
So that later, when all returns to mortal norms
You will remember the peace
Remember the love
And return again to the silence
To be rejuvenated in the Father
Accept now His love
Accept now His peace
Accept now His offering of Himself
And even amongst the distractions you will feel His presence
And happily return to the silence 
Where you will hear the Father call upon your name
You will hear Him whisper into your heart
In the silence you will be awakened
Awakened by the sound of the Father’s voice
In the silence you will hear...
What did you hear?

LENT

  Letting go of that which we grip so tightly only to realize it is the reason for our distance… Exercising the heart, the soul that it may...
