When words and actions meet. Not all things need to be spoken many things are illustrated just by us choosing a course of action.
Remember that old saying that actions speak louder than words. Well, they do. When actions and words both don't line up, we may need to take a trip to the reflection closet. Let us now divulge find out why they do not line up and then do something about it.
When words cease and desist. It's a language the reverberates through time. Silence.
One that cannot be ignored and evidently gives us the answers we seek when words fail. A trustworthy meter or metric of our course of action.
I always challenge anything and anybody that tells me that silence doesn't speak. Silence speaks and is felt intensely. Silence is often ironically louder than our words. I challenge anyone who says that well placed silence is not more violent than someone speaking in a microphone loudly. I mean if that was the point hopefully it isn't. It may not be ideal but sometimes it does happen us and a good choice is afforded to us.
Have you ever felt silence? Have you ever felt its power in a situation where you may have thought that a long string of words or conversation was the answer. Maybe a situation was just over, and no further action needed to be taken. Maybe continuing on with words was just another way to keep something moving that you never wanted to move.
Or maybe you thought you were going to get a call back on something and you didn't. It made you think deeper about the situation what was expected of you or maybe it made recourse something you needed to. Maybe you thought you were going to get an email a voicemail, an inbox and you didn't. Maybe you were disappointed or maybe you understood that something resolved itself again giving you choices.
Maybe you thought something went one way but evidently it went the other. Have you ever felt silence in a place where you thought you were advancing with words? Have you ever felt your comments, conversations rejected by another human being. There was a long silence.
Maybe you were talking to someone who didn't want a relationship with you. They gave you silence.
Have you ever offered yourself to someone loudly and it was silently refused.
I bet you felt ever single bit of that silence.
We all do.
Have you ever been in a situation the was so injustice that demanded something from you that you were not willing to give. You gave it your silence.
Especially in prayer have you ever just sat silently with the Lord where there were no words but there was a silent dialog going on between the two of you. That you had something to say but you were in a silence a prayful silence. It was a posture you chose to express something loudly.
Don't underplay it silence is vital and a powerful tool we all possess. When given the option to speak and remain silent I challenge you to think about what you are doing with your silence.
Actions & Words matter you can't affirm one and ignore the other that would ludacris.
