Country life is Silent. But is it too silent? Separated from city pleasures. What is there to do?
I have found that it is a challenge to go without the noise of the city. It's hard to wait for things you want. It is a struggle to manage the simplicity of country life. Yet, the silence forces you to examine what is authentic.
Silence, like an old mill, grinds away at your soul. The friction it causes is invigorating. It smooths out the jagged surfaces that life often causes. Kindly teaching that we are not created for the amenities of this life. There is a far superior plan for us then just fading things. A plan written by God alone.
Not one thing lasts or is truly Good. All things pass away. One may enjoy this or that. But those enjoyments fade like sawdust in the wind. They are gone. Sunsets end in darkness. Friendships come and go. Even family and friends change. It all ends.
We will ultimately cease to exist. Someday we will all be gone.
But our gone, is God's beginning!
Hope. Silence unveils Gods delightful plan.
Freeing us from passing attachments. Things that are only transitory.
In freedom of nothing, we focus on having everything. Everything that is left when all has passed. What is left? If all things end. Everything!
All that is truly-Good. In silence we find He whom is non-perishable. He is eternal. Always available.
He is the eternal fulfillment of our wanting. The purpose for each of us is beyond our wildest dreams.
God has a plan so unimaginable for everyone!
A joyous reality.
Only in Silence will one attain Everything!
