What does Grace sound like? As humans, we relate to sound in a very real and immediate way. Imagine a relaxing sound: the sound of waves lapping gently at the seashore. Imagine a familiar sound, like the sound of your mother’s voice. Now, imagine the excited roar of a football crowd after a winning touchdown is scored. Sound memories make unforgettable impressions on our lives and shape our experiences.
Imagine what it was like to hear the “sound of God strolling in the garden in the evening breeze” (Genesis 3:8, The Message), like Adam and Eve did, after they sinned in the Garden of Eden then hid with shame in the trees?
Grace does have a sound. It’s called silence. It’s the Spirit of God moving in our hearts and lives; a moment of deliverance when peace envelops us and places us in God’s Divine presence. Can you hear it?
