Mat 15:22. “And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us”

To quote and answer a question And what about when you ask and ask, but hear only silence?

That’s me “ask and ask” and get silence. Silence that makes you feel HURT and TEMPTED to curse God and give up on Him. Silence, and deep silence when God seems unloving, unfair, unjust, unmerciful as tears drop down on the for and your heart breaks. Hurt when you see others being blest by God and He turns His back on you it seems, Hurt when God seems to have put a mark on you and seems to put you through every sadness possible. I know what hurt is. But God allows these agonizing silences to mature our faith and trust in His PROMISES. You see when the widow pleaded to Jesus for her child, Jesus met her with SILENCE, she felt rejected hurt and like giving up. She may have said “I though this Jesus was Kind etc” But you know what she did? She PERSISTED and didn’t give up she KNEW what God could do and would do even In the face of rejection. Jesus then turned and blest her.

God will be silent at times as He has to me, for year upon year NO ANSWER not for lack of faith nor a sinful life but TIMING, His timing must be right His will must be first His Kingdom must come first. Our feeble tarnished dull gold souls must be polished by the furnace of suffering, waiting and testing.

Don’t give up on what you know will happen. Don’t give up on the promises He has made to you, when silence comes it will pass by and blessing will come again as for me it has.

Every sorrow you suffer will make your love and experience of God the more heavenly

Bless you John
