In the stillness

Note from the writer
When reading this please read it slowly, breathing at each line. Slowly.
Read with intesity, and excitment, longing.
(will make more sense)

This is something that I wrote last night and has touched my heart and everyone who has read it thus far.

Please feel free to comment on this as it is one of my first writings.

Must see in larger view!

To make it easier here’s the writing.

“In the stillness”
By Tamela R. Wall

In the stillness, I wait
How long till I hear your voice?
In the silence I wait.
Eager for the voice of the Lord.
You are always with us.
Through the noise of our daily lives.
To the quietness of our sleep.
You are always there.
So I wait,
Sometimes it is hard to be patient and wait.
The devil is always trying to tempt us and keep us from hearing.
To wait. To pray. To listen.
Silence.
What is it that you are trying to tell me?
Maybe I’m listening to hard.
Or maybe I’m not listening at all.
Focus.
In the stillness, I wait.
Then when I think that you have nothing for me,
You speak.
In a still small voice.
You speak.
Though as I listen closer.
Your voice isn’t so distant any more.
It’s growing stronger like the thunder, like a mighty rushing wind.
It’s closer now.
Like you are right beside me.
I am listening Lord.
Your message is simple yet powerful.
You says nothing.
I breathe,I wait, then it hits me.
Sometimes the thing you need us to do is wait.
To show us the things we are missing.
Be patient, be content and wait.
Prayerfully, silently, waiting.
Until you speak.
In your time, in your way & your will.
You begin to show me things through others,
through their words,
their actions,
and their attitudes.
You teach me.
You teach me to listen and to be ready.
For one day very soon, we will have no warning.
We must be ready.
We must be waiting.
But while we wait we are to share.
Share the news of your salvation.
I rejoice O’Lord.
My soul cannot stay still.
I must shout it to the world.
I must share.
I must wait.
I must be ready.
I must pray.
I must let the world know that there is still hope.
You are the way.
You are the truth.
And you are the life.
You never promised that the road would be easy.
You just promised that I would never have to go alone.
So hear I am Lord use me.
In the stillness, I wait.
For the glorious return through the eastern gate.
I wait.
For that homecoming day,
I wait.
For on that day you will call my name.
I will shout from the mountains that I have waited and I am here.
So in the stillness, I wait.
