LOVE HIM QUIETLY

I can communicate with others far better sometimes by not talking. That is how it is with Jesus. This chit-chat is not what is in my heart at all. I just talk to not be silent. With Jesus, I am just silent. I just want His presence. I have to learn to be quiet with others. I am just talking because I am nervous, and I am not saying anything that is in my heart and soul.

In my heart and soul is love, rooted so deeply in the love of Jesus. I have to learn to quit talking. I am not even saying what is going on in my soul.

Gift of love: St. Paul said, "Though I command languages both human and angelic-if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing." (1 Co. 13:1)

My heart is so much deeper than words. To speak is to take away what is in my heart, for what is in my heart is so deep.
