a Whisper…I wait

“I wait for you, eager for your time and attention. Times of fellowship with you give me great delight. They also provide you with opportunities to learn from me, to know me better, and to hear from me the things I want to share with you.

I wait to give you my love. It not only gives peace to your soul and joy to your heart, its sustaining power keeps you moving forward in life. The greatest love you will ever know is my love.

I wait to bless you that you might also bless others. There are many two-fold purposes in my plans. One may be more obvious than another, but when you have eyes to see and ears to hear, you will see the bigger picture.

I wait for you to come humbly to me. It is through humility that I am able to reveal my plans to you. So keep your eyes fixed upon me. In faith, follow where I lead you so that you will be effective in what I call you to do. My strength is perfected in your weakness, therefore, what is not necessarily easy for you, can be accomplished through me.

I wait for you to serve. My ways are not your ways, yet my plans are fulfilled because of your willingness to serve me. I am honored when you choose the narrow way for then I can open wide the windows of heaven to pour down my blessings upon you.

I wait for you to seek me with all of your heart.  True wisdom is found in me. It is found in the truth of my word. You will know me deeply as you understand my word and how it applies to your life.

I wait for you…I long for you to follow me.”

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.
