The whisper of God

Gustave Doré (1832-1883)
Jesus Walks on the Sea
between 1866 and 1870

After the earthquake there was fire—
but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.

1 Kings 19:12-13a

God’s presence is not known in violence or destruction. God’s presence is known in the whisper of kindness, the gentle touch of compassion, the peace of welcome.

Today I will listen to the love in my heart.
