“A new year brings with it new challenges and unlimited opportunities to grow as you go with me through your life’s journey. I do not want you to fear the unknown of what lies ahead for you because I know these things, and I will be with you. I will make a way in every situation because I am your Father and I love you deeply.

You may continue to abide in me knowing that your life is hidden in Christ Jesus with me. I will keep you safe and I will strengthen you when you are weak. This is our journey together and I will not abandon you. Do not allow negative or anxious thoughts to dictate your feelings. Focus on what you know is true…that I am the strength of your heart and your portion forever.

My Spirit draws near to you as you draw near to me, enabling you to abide in peace. You may trust because you know that I am faithful. Embrace me fully, trust me completely, and you will experience my presence ever close to you. My love for you is perfect and it casts away any shadows of doubt and fear that may try to distract you. Allow my love to enfold you, go out in peace and live in my steady supply of joy.  In all things, continue to give me thanks and it will be well with your soul.

Every opportunity this year is a chance for you to see my hand at work in your life. You will have some great moments, and you will have some challenging ones. My desire is that you set your focus upon me, rather than on the things that are happening so that I can show you the way through each growth opportunity. Seek me first and my plans for you will be revealed and accomplished.”

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.
