The Silence Where God Listens
The room is quiet now, and the day's noise has settled into a heavy silence. You have been speaking into the dark for so long that your own voice sounds strange, and you wonder if the words are just disappearing into the walls.
There is a fear that the silence on the other end means no one is there. But the light does not always arrive with a shout; sometimes it arrives as a stillness that holds you without saying a word.
You are not shouting into a void. The One who sees in the dark is already listening, closer than your next breath.
The silence is not an absence; it is the space where the listening happens.
Drawing from
Matthew, Gospel of Thomas
