I love silence. For sure my favorite part of the day is the time I spend with Jesus in Holy Hour. There is however, something to be said about silence in the grandure of nature and meeting God there.
The world is a busy place. I for one,, know how easy it is to get caught up in the hustle and bustle being deaf to the voice of God even without knowing it.
This week I am blessed to be able to be in North Carolina on on the Outer Banks. It is pretty much deserted. Far from the hustle and bustle of the summer, there is barely anyone around. I have the ocean to myself and can clearly hear the whispers of God as I walk along the beach, or just sit in silence.
It strikes me that this is all that is really important The noise of the world often takes us away from the presence of God no matter how hard we try to stay attentive to His voice. We mistakenly think things are important that quickly pass away.
I’m grateful for this time of grace with Jesus and Mary, that reminds me not only if what is important, but of the gratitude I must have for the gift of healing and all the other many gifts they have given me. There was a time in my life when I would have thought this peace was unattainable, but the miracle of His Mercy has shown me otherwise.
If you are struggling with healing from an abortion do not be afraid to be alone with God. Spend some time listening to Him instead of the clamor of your own mind which fills you with lies and thoughts of being unforgivable. There are no limits to God's Mercy and He longs to heal you.
Seek out a good ministry or healing program to learn the dynamics of healing from abortion, but most importantly put yourself in His presence and allow Him to speak to your heart.
May we stay in the silence even in the business of the world, keeping our focus on Him, His love and the salvation that came to set us free.
