a Whisper…I am near

“I am near to you, you are not alone. I will carry you through all that you face in your journey with me. Accept my stretching and teaching so that you will grow in righteousness and live a life filled with my peace.

True joy comes from trusting in me, from abiding with me and allowing me to be your guide as you travel through this life. Your life in this world is merely a detour to your final destination. Although it can be challenging at times, it can be lived in the abundance of my Spirit, of my presence with you. The more you draw near to me, the more you will understand the truth of that statement.

I am God, your Father who loves you with a mighty and everlasting love. As you wrap yourself in me, you will know my protection. You will experience ongoing peace every day, and in everything that lies ahead for you. You need not fear the road ahead, you need solely to depend upon me.  I’ve got you, your life is hidden in me through Christ Jesus my son for eternity.”

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.
