Sunday Stories - How to Enjoy Silence

How to Enjoy Silence

To turn off the noise, 

we must be ok with our own thoughts.

To be ok with our own thoughts, 

we must think on things worthy of our time.

To think on things worthy of our time, 

we must be in active pursuit of good things.

To be in active pursuit of good things, 

we must crave good and not evil.

To crave good and not evil, 

we must know Jesus as a friend.

To know Jesus as a friend, 

we must believe that he gave his life 

to give us eternity with Him.

To believe that Jesus gave his life so that we could live, 

is to acknowledge that we need a savior.

To acknowledge that we need a savior, 

is to admit we can’t get to Heaven on our own.

To admit we can’t get there on our own, 

is to admit that we are not in control.

To admit we’re not in control, 

is to admit we need God to come alongside us 

and take the wheel.

To let God take the wheel in our lives 

is to trust Him.

To trust Him 

is to love Him.

To love Him 

is the first step to loving others.

To love others 

is to pursue good things.

To pursue good things 

is surely the way to having good thoughts, and….

having good thoughts 

is the only way to enjoy silence.
