Description You will find God in the silence

I made this stamp as a reminder not just to others, but to myself, that we need to always take time during the day to find a quiet, secluded place to speak with and listen to God. Whether it's in our rooms, our closets, in the wilderness, or even alone in church, it is good and important to find God in the silence and let Him fill us.

God bless.



"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."

"In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence."

~Both quotes from Mother Teresa



For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time that cannot be forced; nine months must go by for the birth of a human child; to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research ...To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting....

~Pope John Paul II



Be still, and know that I am God.
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth!

~Psalm 46:10



For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

~Psalm 62:1



By waiting and by calm you shall be saved,
in quiet and in trust your strength lies.

~Isaiah 30:15



Listen to me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment.

~Isaiah 41:1



But the Lord is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.

~Habakkuk 2:19-20



But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

~Matthew 6:6



Please let me know if I can add on to or improve the artist's description. I would love additional quotes/Bible verses to be added!

I'm not a Christian or even religious, but I do have some respect for the former's core values. I added this stamp because I see God not as a religious but a spiritual, "universal" God; a deep understanding of the inter-relatedness of all things in the universe, including us. I also understand the "silence" bit as that experienced when you go beyond the constant stream of thoughts in our heads.

That's why people pray in silence and with their eyes closed; things that are beautiful aren't seen but felt by heart.
