“God is our Father and loves us, even when his silence remains incomprehensible.”- Pope Benedict XVI
God loves us. This is true in moments when you feel His Presence and in moments when you do not. It is like the sun that remains shining even when it hides behind a cloud.
Hold on. Continue to believe in His love for you. Even when you can’t hear Him. Even when He is so silent you don’t know whether He’s still there listening to you.
When the right time comes, you will know why He hid His face from you. And you will also know how He has never stopped watching over you even when you don’t know it, even in times you fail to believe He’s there.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. – Revelations 8:1, WEB
