In the silence of my suffering - I
met God.
It wasn't just in the spotlight.
It was on the hospital bed, In the middle of the marital crisis, when the bank
account hit zero, and when depression and anxiety couldn't lift; that was when
I met Him.
Not too loud, but real. Not flashy but faithful.
He never waited till I was strong; He just showed up. All Gentle - Quiet -
Present - Comforting.
Not everything was fixed overnight but He gave me a deeper - kinder present;
His peace - His nearness.
In those moments of desperation, I
realized that God's presence isn't about grand gestures or dramatic
interventions.
It's about His gentle whisper in the darkness, His comforting presence in the
midst of pain.
It's about finding solace in His nearness, even when everything else seems to
be falling apart.
As I reflect on those moments, I
realize that God's faithfulness isn't dependent on my circumstances.
He's not a God who's only present in the good times; He's a God who's present
in the bad times too.
He's the God of the emergency room, the God of the marital crisis, and the God
of the empty bank account.
He's the God who's always with me, always near.
In the silence of my suffering, I
learned to listen to God's gentle voice.
I learned to trust in His goodness, even when I couldn't see a way out.
I learned to find comfort in His presence, even when the pain was overwhelming.
And I learned that His peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence
of God in the midst of them.
God's presence in my life has been
a journey of discovery, a journey of faith, and a journey of healing.
It's a journey that's taught me to trust in His goodness, to find comfort in
His nearness, and to rest in His peace.
And it's a journey that I'm grateful for, even in the midst of challenges and
uncertainties.
