God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would say that we are living in an age that is increasingly spiritually blind and morally deaf. The man who does not shout is not going to be heard.
If one can only see things according to one's own belief system, one is destined to become virtually deaf, dumb, and blind.
By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense.
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
I've never heard God speak out loud to me. That's not an experience I have had.
Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
God speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the Son of Man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing.
Heaven is dumb, echoing only the dumb.
To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses.
