i HEAR THE SILENCE..........(John 5:2-9)

 What causes a person to not have anything to talk about
the lips are closed, but the ears stay open.
 is this a person that is trying to replay some type of past event and live it in the future...
 maybe....
or maybe it is a person tthat just does not know how to say what he/she has to say.....
 maybe......
Maybe this person kows, that what he has to say is a great big excuse for something......
 How would this world be without more people that were willing to just listen more and talk less... yea, it would be extremely boring, but that would take away the gossip, and the backbiting, and a lot of the envy....
 What ever happened to that person that would listen to the other person more, instead of having a damn opinion about everything.....
sometimes, i just do not want you hear what you think
if ONLY we did make more of a conscience effort to be "ChristLike"
YEP, i did it, one word. ChristLike.
 Jesus did not force his opinion on anyone...
 if he was not asked, or in a position where he chose to make his point known,
if anything, he forced a conversation that would get you to respond..
after he allowed you to say what you needed to say,
 IF IT WAS NECESSARY then he would tell you either how faithful you were,
or how full of it you are..... (being the case in the scripture)...
BUT, he never cut you off so he could talk for the sake of hearing himself speak....
 He knew what he sounded like, he just found pleasure from the fact that there was another opportunity to build his father's kingdom.....
 He allowed you to make a choice, not for you to be pounded with his WORD,
we have to realize that more people have been helped, and more people have been saved by the precious gift of silence...
How Did Jesus know what was wrong with this man, or did he just want this man to be able to SAY what his issue was....
Silence is truly golden.....
Maybe we should try to just shut up sometimes, JUST to hear the other person out...
