The Voice of Silence


I want to be like Jesus, deeper in my heart/
I want to be like Jesus, deep down in my heart/
So deep deep, so down down, so deeper in my heart/
So deep deep, so down down, deeper in my heart/

Silence!
I say silence!
Silence in the courts, silence in the church, silence in the fellowships, silence in the morning, silence in the night, silence in the quite times, silence in the suffering, silence to not grow!

How silence shouts in our midst, how silence quiets us in not talking of our issues, how foolish we let the silence of sinning control us by not being sharpened. How silence just takes control of our situations while we still stand gazing not knowing what to do next, how to react to our claim to freedom, how to know that freedom isn't free, how to realise that when we keep silent, no help will be given. How i have kept silent in the sinning-economical. How would sin be economical, it can be if you sin behind the curtains, where you are in your comfort zone, how we can never be seen, how the shadows only know the true you that you don't wear a mask to.

When will the silence end, i always ask the silence, it responds to me in keeping quite. When will the addictions take off its cords and move on, move on to never holding on, move on to never come back, move on to let the change be, let the change engulf the personality, let change be constant. But am reminded that iron sharpens iron, am reminded that God can't give you what you cannot handle, am reminded that it is better to share, it is better to not grieve the spirit, it is better to know the son, the son that sets everything free, the son that is all and in all. The son who was there in the beginning.

How am reminded that i should have joy in troubled times, when all the suffering through grace brings persistence, how persistence brings character, how character brings maturity as a christian. Oh my soul, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. How silence won't take hold of me being sharpened in Christ, how i won't let silence be the determiner of my happiness, how silence won't take captive of me, the freedom that comes with the fight, i see silence not taking root, how silence wont take hold in the storehouses, in the quite times, in the midst of fellowship, in the midst of interraction between brethren, how i need to repent of my sins everyday, carry the cross on my back and follow Christ, when even Daniel the prophet used to confess his sins yet he was chosen, how to chase perfection with broken feet and how to heep my way pure by living according to the word of God.

All in all, perfection is what needs to be attained, even if its not able to, done is better than perfect.

May the peace that transcends all human understanding be with you all the days of your life as your character is made in suffering for your maturity.

The voice of silence!
