Echoes of Silent Praise #1953

Echoes of Silent Praise This microphone, a mere vessel, neither our voice nor our words, nor the essence of our spirits. It stands as a symbol, a silent witness to the deeper truths we hold. When our lips fall silent, when the world seems hushed, there is a chorus of countless other microphones rising, each one a beacon, each one a testament. They fill the void, they echo the praise we carry in our hearts, proclaiming the truth of the Spirit of the Cross. In the silence, grace finds its way. Not born from our hearts, nor the embrace of our souls, yet in this quiet, they sing. They praise loud and clear, not just for today, but for all ages. The truth of the Cross resonates through them, ever strong, ever present. Silent voices merge into an endless throng, raising a chorus pure and strong. It is the whisper of the Spirit, the song of the Cross, that binds them. In this unified praise, they belong. They speak the truth that our hearts know, the truth that even in silence, there is power. There is praise. There is the Spirit, ever-present, ever-true. -Steven G. Lee (June 26, 2024)
