Sacred, Quiet Moments
I’ve been pondering — other than holding hands with my sweetheart, I’m not much for PDA — public displays of affection. I get a little uncomfortable when couples forget they’re in public and turn the grocery aisle into a romance novel.
Some things are just too precious for the spotlight. And In a similar way, some of the sweetest moments in my life with God are the quiet ones — moments that don’t need an audience.
Just Him and me.
Those are the times when I unload the clutter in my heart. My worries, my weaknesses, my questions. The One who knows me better than I know myself listens patiently as I sort through it all.
Our relationship with God is the most tangible love story we’ll ever experience, even though we can’t see Him with our eyes or touch Him with our hands.
And the beautiful thing?
We don’t have to tweet about it, post about it, or livestream it.
We simply get to savor it.
Jesus once said, “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father who is unseen. (Matthew 6:6)
I love that picture. Close the door. Quiet the noise. No applause needed.
Sometimes my prayer time is sitting on the sofa embracing His words while I know He is embracing mine. Sometimes it’s while folding laundry. But He meets me every time.
He hears the whispered prayers.
He understands the silent tears.
He welcomes the gratitude that bubbles up when I remember just how good He’s been.
Public worship is amazing! Singing in church with hands lifted high is a beautiful thing.
But the hidden moments — the quiet conversations no one else sees — those are where intimacy grows.
“Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:6) Oh, I love that. The rewards?
Peace in the storm.
Faith when hope seems lost.
Love beyond description.
The is what being close to our Savior looks like.
Not performance.
Not perfection.
Just honest fellowship with the One who gave everything for us.
And honestly — what better place could there be than the quiet presence of God Who loves us completely?
Sometimes the most powerful love stories happen behind a closed door. And, oh what a LOVE STORY it is with our Savior!
