Learn to hope with me in the quiet – Jesus

The quiet.
Oh, how we yearn for it. Yet we fill our lives with noise and distractions. What do I miss when I choose to scroll on my phone? What do I miss when I watch mindless tv reality shows? Blare music through my speakers or my ear buds? What do I miss?
I miss peace.
I miss the gentle whisper of Jesus telling me things.
I miss the natural rhythm of the day.
I miss hope. The hope that Jesus promises us. Quiet. Like the Sabbath, we need to take a break. Exclude ourselves from the noise we choose to bring into our lives. What will I find when I choose to learn?
I will find hope. I will find peace. I will find Jesus.
Shhhhhhhh… hear that?
That is Jesus, waiting in the quiet – for you. For me.
