When I Am Silent

As I sat before my computer
Searching for words that I could share,
As I sought I finally discovered
My spiritual cupboard was bare.

So I asked the Holy Spirit
What things He'd have me say,
And this that you're receiving,
Are my 'thoughts' for today.

I am in need of God's refilling
In order to give more away,
I have definitely been depleted,
For it's the words of God I share each day.

I am confident more is coming,
He has convinced me of the need,
To reach out to as many as will receive Him,
He wants a harvest from this seed.

I have a love for this Internet family,
You have each earned a special place,
In this heart of hearts that longs only,
To share God's love and unfailing grace.

So in times when I seem silent,
I'm not absent but absorbed in the Word,
And will stay within His Presence,
Until His voice I'm sure I've heard.
