The Voice That Cried in Silence

Tears in DeceptionThere is a kind of silence that cries louder than words.It is the silence born from deception—when truth is hidden, feelings are dismissed, and the heart learns to weep without sound.The voice of silence often speaks when we’ve been taught not to speak at all.It whispers questions like: Am I heard? Does my pain matter? Is this really God’s will—or someone else’s control?Deception thrives in silence.Not always through outright lies, but through withheld truth, spiritual manipulation, and unanswered cries. When tears fall in secret, deception convinces the soul that suffering is normal, that endurance means silence, and that questioning is rebellion.But Scripture tells a different story.“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” — Amos 3:7“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:God does not hide truth to harm His people.He does not require silence to prove faithfulness.He hears the tears that never made a sound.The tears in deception are holy signals. They reveal that something is misaligned—between what is said and what is lived, between what is preached and what is practiced. Silence may have been forced, but God’s voice still breaks through gently, faithfully.“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:1When  truth enters, silence loses its grip.Tears become testimony.And deception is exposed by love, not fear.Reflection:Ask yourself gently:What has my silence been trying to say?Then bring that voice to God—He has been listening all along.If you want, I can shape this into a devotional, teaching outline, or short prayer for healing and discernment. 🙏Sisters/Women Making A Change, a faith-filled broadcast hosted by Prophetess/Pastor Mary Jo Leaks — where faith meets fellowship and the love of Christ transforms hearts around the world.
