a Whisper…a break in the clouds

“When clouds of frustration loom over your head, you must look for the one bright light peeking through, that break in the clouds. That is where you will find me.

There is always a break in the clouds, however sometimes it is not easy to see. There is a time to be patient, to wait, to breathe, and slow your thoughts down. You cannot see clearly when your mind is wrapped up in anxious thoughts because your focus is on your issues, and not on me. It always comes back to choices and what you choose to do.  How you choose to respond will affect the outcome of every situation.

When storm clouds appear and suddenly your emotions become a whirlwind of anxious reactions, choose to be still and remember me. Remember that I am God, that I am with you and my power is sufficient for you. Give your anxious thoughts to me, invite me into the situation and I will be your help. This is my promise to you and I am faithful to my word.  I am faithful to my children – always.”

I am a devoted follower of Christ who believes that when we have ears to hear, God will speak to us. He not only uses His word through the Bible, but he uses the Holy Spirit to communicate with us in many different ways, but mostly in the ways He knows each individual heart will hear Him. This blog is simply about sharing the whispers that the Lord has spoken to my heart during quiet times with Him. I give Him all the credit for the words shared on this site. If there is any encouragement for you, as there has been for me, the blessing is from Him. I pray that all who find this blog will hear his voice in these Whispers.
