"WE NEED SILENCE..."

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon, and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa, Christian missionary and winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize

When we seek silence, when we intentionally become still and quiet, that is when amazing things can happen. We can get in touch with our Spirit within us. We can hear the gentle whispers guiding us to our next task. We can tune out the noise of the outside world and just rest in the silence. The benefits can be outstanding. All we need is the willingness to take time out of our days to actually sit quietly and listen. Are you willing to try? It cannot hurt, can it?

Most people would say they don't have enough time in the day as it is but if we each took five or ten minutes every day to sit quietly, chances are our days would be more productive than ever. Seeking a connection with a power greater than ourselves can only bring us blessings. God is the "friend of silence" and God is our friend as well. God is on our side, always.

Today I will remember that God is my friend and that I will always find my Higher Power in the silence. I will take the time to be still, listen, and rest in the silence. My blessings will come from this effort. I am truly grateful.
