What gift silence? What chaos endorses peace? Focus, an ability or determined effort to drown out the noise, even white noise. The cackle is so disturbing, why? An effort to simply say or use words without thinking is slumber or worse yet nervous or ill behavior. Exhausted of my own energy in using words to describe something may quite likely never be accepted or understood. Lord please give me cogent, purposeful and timely words.
Children or those unsure of their walk/position need constant validation. Underfoot, even with negative attempts to receive Focus, which diverts Focus from all other pursuits, even God’s Voice and direction. This cacophony must be brought into line and perspective or the purposeful direction of spirit will never be enjoyed and heeded. This is so painfully un-gentile.
When looking to another being I claim to love, in love I must consciously decide and control what I say as to not diminish or annoy them. I came into it knowing that there are things that should not be said to maintain, preserve and foster my beloved’s quiescence or rest. Pestering, nattering and lacking self control I will destroy or inhibit healthy growth in relationships. It has never been my job to change people to my desired understanding.
Private people are quiet people and Christians deserve and embrace the Rest given by Promise of Christ. Those who have such need for spot light should truly go to the Lord and learn self Control, especially where the healthy relationship of men and women are concerned. Men need silence to work out their problems, designs and to listen for the voice of God. Good Conversation is necessary to healthy communications. Constant Conversation is not always productive to that ideal.
Adult Christians don’t simply embrace the Word as children seeking a nipple. They know that there are complexities and direction in God’s Word clearly defining and promoting good relationships between people of same and opposite gender. Failure to learn and heed these healthy guidelines harbors either a reluctance, disobedience or lack of the Fruit of Self Control.
I implore myself to be conscious of all that I say especially to those whom I claim to have love and respect. Peace is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and therefore must be heard, learned and practiced through that two way communication with Him as guide. Lord forgive me for my lack and practiced understanding and any harm or detriment it has created.
If one person however needy or good intentioned fails to respect the maintenance of peace, whatever desired outcomes they embrace or testimony they provide, there will be absence of peace detrimental to all that they seek. Lord please don’t let me injure my own relationships through unconscious or immature understanding and practice. In Jesus’ Name.
