In a world full of background noise, it’s easy to miss the gentle voice inside us—the one Jesus promised in John 16. This week’s reflection begins in a hearing-aid test booth and leads back into the vineyard path where Jesus told his friends, “When he comes, he will speak.” Not loudly. Not dramatically. Quietly. The challenge is not whether God speaks, but whether we can hear through the layers of noise around us—and within us. This post explores how silence becomes the birthplace of clarity, how our inherited narratives shape us more than we realize, and how God’s guidance rises slowly, like dawn, through the cracks of our stories. It’s not about throwing anything away, but understanding it more deeply. And it’s not about becoming heroes—it’s about becoming steady, gentle, honest people whose presence blesses others without effort.
