Seek solitude; Be faithful to solitude times; Welcome both self-knowledge and God-knowledge; Learn to waste time with God. (All lovers waste time with each other); Dare to be alone. Be willing to go apart from the crowd and the action, to be called away from the world’s business.

The speaking of the Lord is in the still small voice, and like the dew, His grace is distilled in silence; His Spirit descends –– softly, quietly, in love. (Excerpt, Alistair Begg)
