God is a great communicator!

God was silent for 400 hundred years - sometimes silence speaks louder than words!

Jesus spoke to 12, 50, Hundreds of people to proclaim the love of God.
Jesus spoke to God - often - but how agonizing and heartfelt when He asked God why God had forsaken Him while hanging on that cross.
God speaks to me - if I will listen - in a variety of ways
- through His Word
- through a friend's kind words, hug, laugh
- through an enemy's criticism
- through a whisper during my quiet times.
He usually doesn't shout at me - He prefers a gentler approach. He wants me to be still and KNOW that HE IS GOD. I don't sit still often. I need to do so more - much more. He is whispering.
