On Day 75 we talked about noise, on day 77 we talked about sound, yesterday we talked about melody and today is song, and yet the title of the book is “The Power of Silence”. The first time I read the book I thought, okay Cardinal Sarah help me connect the dots?
It was only after reading the book for the third time did, I connect the dots. I came to the understanding that the most beautiful song is the song of God’s love for me, and I hear the song loudest in the deepest recesses of my heart.
Today, Cardinal Sarah points to St. John of the Cross and one of St. John’s many quotes about God’s love says, “Silence is God’s First Language”. I immediately thought about the moment I held my children for the first time. We looked into each other’s eyes and w/o words God’s love spoke.
God’s love does not require words, just presence! Sitting in silence with him in my heart is the best song I will ever hear!
When did you first hear God’s love song for you? What was it like?
Take away: Are you speaking God’s love language? I challenge you to look into God’s eyes and hear is love in silence.
