Today we are talking about God's love in the silence and how he demonstrates his heart by listening to you and giving you space to hear his heart for you as well as your own.
It is the silence of a friend where you take comfort in trusting and knowing each other by heart and not by continual proof which forms a deeper bond that gives you peace. It is a chance to have deepened love where many of us have lived a performance of love, but we don't feel comfortable because somewhere deep inside we don't fully believe his intentions or trust his heart for us. This he will show us in the beat of his heart where there are no words to distract us but the word that we choose to know by faith apart from obvious signs and wonders.
This is what he is like...
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Luke 10: 11-14
