Noise
Does a tree falling in the forest make a noise if nobody is listening? I've been told scientists believe it doesn't. I suppose that depends on how you define noise. If a noise is something that is heard and nobody hears it's not a noise.
But who wants to just make a noise? If what I have to say doesn't convey something provide some information or encourage someone then what I have to say may be just noise.
If what I have to say in these daily entries doesn't interest you then you might say it's just noise. To you that is true. Since I write on different subjects some of the stuff I write won't interest you although others may enjoy it.
There was another character that talked about noise. The apostle Paul begins I Corinthians 13 with the words "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love I am become as sounding brass or a tickling cymbal."
If what I have to say isn't said with a heart of love it's just noise. Does that mean we always need to be nice? Jesus wasn't. There's a lot of difference between niceness and love. Real love isn't a put-on; it comes from the heart and God is the one that looks at our hearts.
