God is a Great Listener

February 8, 2018

There’s been nights I literally cried on my face, feeling like I didn’t even have the words in me to articulate my anguish, my heartbreak, my loneliness, my emptiness, my brokenness. And although I didn’t hear from God my faith allowed those tears to heal me knowing that He heard me, He saw me. And although I couldn’t hear His gentle voice saying, “it’s going to be okay,” I knew it would be. I was no longer angry at God for not running to my rescue in the moments I cried. He knew me—He knew the journey we’ve been on and knew His daughter well enough to know He didn’t need to tell me. He knew that I knew that He was faithful and things would work out. It was in those moments that the Almighty, all-knowing God of the ages simply comforted me with His presence, and simply listened.
