No words...

What do you do when the words don't come?  When inspiration has kept its distance?  You're staring at a blank screen, page, face...and the words just aren't there...God doesn't seem to be leading.
Or is He?
Sometimes in the face of silence we are to be silent...to sit in wait for that spark of creativity, conversation, or inspiration to manifest itself and grow into a fully formed thought...  It's in those moments when our time together comes on a Sunday, or Monday...BUT, then we are no longer sharing "Saturdays with Sara" are we?  No, it's more like "Devotions with Sara" or "Encouragement with Sara" or any number of things you may or may not get from our time together once a week.
Then, there are other times when we are to fight the silence because it's Satan's way of keeping us from a commitment...silence...hiding the light...keeping you from sharing your voice, wisdom, and love with the people around you.  In these moments we must fight the urge to give up and press on through the awkwardness of "nothing to say;" because a heart overflowing with Christ will always have SOMETHING to share.  Something of great value.  Something no one else can share...
Itself.
In my weakness, He is made strong (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)...  So I will most gladly boast in my weakness because it is then, and only then, that God's voice is purest (and loudest)...there is no longer anything that I can contribute...I am only a vessel for Christ.
So, as you go through your day, when you come to those moments where there "are just no words" rely on the fact that God speaks with a still small voice...so listen carefully...because if you have nothing to say, He does!  Therefore allow your heart and mind to overflow with Christ and alow Him to speak through you!  When you share Christ, you share your heart...When you share your heart, you share Christ.
Chances are, You need to be silent so someone else can hear!
