a Whisper…a little perspective

“Perspective is what is needed when you struggle in relationships that are important to you. I am the one who can help you with that.

Your perspective is skewed because you don’t always know what the other person’s thoughts or struggles may be. You tend to assume much and many of your assumptions are wrong because they are based upon feelings rather than facts.

When your feelings get hurt by others, you often jump quickly to the wrong assumptions and this is what skews your perspective. You see through a dark glass and that is not enough to be truly discerning. Instead of jumping to conclusions of your own making, make the effort to bring your thoughts to me and ask me to help you to have discerning eyes. Ask me to provide you wisdom so that you will see more clearly. You may not be completely off the mark, but I am the only one who knows for sure.

You would be wise to trust in me and to allow me to work in your heart; and to speak to you about these things before you go off and create a situation that does not exist.  Haste can be a waste of time and effort. It can also be a setback to hinder the answers to your prayers.

Come to me, come to this safe place where we meet in prayer and in my Word. I will speak to your heart and show you the way to go and how to gain the right perspective in your relationships.”

• “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5
• “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians 2: 10b – 11
• “My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like jewels on a necklace. They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble.” Proverbs 3: 21-23

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.
