An Empowering Whisper
It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it.
Sören Kierkegaard
Sometimes you hear it just as a whisper, a brief gust of breeze that momentarily makes you stop and take notice. The Creator whispers, "Do you know who you are, my child. Can you see the glory I put there? The power to influence the world around you. I wealthily support and adore you. This living meagerly and depressed in self appointed isolation simply does not fit you. You were created in love, for love, to give love. See your glory, find your divine destiny, revel in your empowering presence of love."
It has only been a few years since I have really started listening to that magical whisper, that "hint" of eternal possibilities. I've only just begun to see and believe it. Oh, how it has changed everything! And I so love whispering that Hint of possibilities into the ears of others. To encourage and empower another person, is a type of giving I feel called too and enthralled by. Through the inspiring posts on this site, I am roused to give in both practical ways and through empowering whispers.

Of all the pages on this site, yours is the one I'm drawn to like a magnet as it always offers tranquil remedies for a tired and/or troubled soul. You're a gifted man that is always giving out the best medicine; encouragement. Thank you for your inspiring insight. Blessings, Effie

I have heard that whisper.
Sometimes it just strikes me, goes straight to my ear, straight to my heart.
Other times I listen really hard and just can't seem to hear it.
Even when I can't hear it, I always BELIEVE it's there ... and soon I will hear it again.

you have sent several of those whispers my way and they have helped me a great deal. i still catch myself "thinking poor" every once in awhile but it is happening less often. thanks for the wonderful quote from Kierkegaard and for your insightful commentary. Hugs, Dawn PS i hope you and your family are doing better.

Ouch, that one went straight to the heart! Especially "Living meagerly and depressed in self appointed isolation" Thanks for the whispers Shawn, (although that one was more of a shout in my ear, lol) Will make a greater effort to hear the whispers!
