Silence

"We have forgotten how to be silent; we have grown afraid.  Yet nothing truly great or enduring was ever yet or will ever be achieved without silence.  'While all things were in quiet silence, thy almighty Word, O God, leaped down from Heaven.'  In the singing silences of eternity that Word was begotten in the bosom of the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeded as their mutual Love ablaze with silence."*

Today I challenge you to take some time in silence.  Listen to what God is saying to you.  How does He want you to serve Him today?
