“Feelings beyond explanation... the soul responds with unspoken words. The heart sings in splendor” ― Leela Reddy
Meaning of unspoken - not expressed in speech; tacit. “An unspoken assumption"
I did not find the word “unspoken” in the Bible. However, it does point us to be still and listen for our Father's voice.
Words are a fascinating study; they have taken me on an incredible journey. I have discovered when to be still, not utter a single word, and listen. To be truthful, I sometimes find this difficult when the excitement of sharing a gift of His love with others appears before me. It overtakes my heart, and the words seem to escape from my mouth faster than I can contain them.
Many words can speak of hate. They can also speak of love greater than we have ever known. Words can warm our hearts, bring great joy, or wound our souls beyond repair.
I will admit, even before I shared this precious time with my Heavenly Father, I would tell my children If you had nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” leaving those words unspoken.
Are our thoughts the same as our voice? Do we act on these thoughts and share them with others, or do they remain hidden in our hearts for eternity? Are our silent prayers even heard?? Or must we part our lips and let the whispers from our hearts find they're their way to our Beloved Savior’s ears? I do believe God knows our every thought, which means every spoken and unspoken word… There is no hiding from Him. I find that He has even kept up with technology. He sees every word written, every app we open, every website we visit. He sees the words we use when we interact with each other on this thing we call social media.
Do we even give this a second thought as we go through our daily lives?
I am certain that some of our written, spoken words, and thoughts may bring great joy to our Heavenly Father's heart. And yet, some may sadden and perhaps even wound His soul.
I must admit I speak to Him in the silence of my mind, I write my thoughts and prayers daily, and I part my lips and speak to Him from the depths of my soul. There are no unspoken words to God. There is no other relationship that can know our heart, and understand us at such an intimate level…
Through embracing vulnerability and openness, I've come to realize that He is pleased when we share His message of love with others, by using our voices and experiences to spread His legacy of love through forgiveness and salvation for eternity.
Let no love go unspoken… time is a fragile gift. Be still and listen to the best teacher of life and love, and do not let these words go unspoken in your heart.
'Love the Lord your God with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that is within you.' TPT
Be still, my heart…. It's Him, it's always Him!
