Your source for daily spiritual inspiration!
Over the past six weeks or so I have been writing a series of articles called “Building a Relationship with God”. During the course of the series, we explored talking to God, hearing God talk to us, looking for the signs God gives us in our lives, and how we know and learn the word of God or, in other words, what He has already told us.
If you would like to go back and read any of the previous installments, here are links to the first five parts of the series:
Sometimes, in our lives, God takes us down paths we would least likely expect.
If someone had told me as little as two years ago that I would be developing a website called The Whisper of God and writing inspirational and spiritual messages, I might have thought they were crazy. But that is exactly what I find myself doing now – a lot of writing and really enjoying it.
I took a little break from our series “Building a Relationship With God” partly because other things came to me that I felt I needed to write about and partly because I was waiting for inspiration to hit me again. Well God has inspired me again so lets continue with part 5 of our series.

When it was finally time to go we looked at each other with the greatest of trepidations, hugged, and parted. I got in the car just in time for her to not see the tears in my eyes that I got when I saw them in hers.
In parts 1 – 3 of our series “Building a Relationship with God”, we have taken a look at how to start to talk to God (through prayer) and how to start to listen for God (through mediation). Now let’s take a look at how God gives us signs that He is all around us.
When I tell some people the story about what had happened to me a few months ago they look at me as if I’ve absolutely lost my mind. As a matter of fact, at the time, I thought I might have been a little off my rocker and kept this to myself for a while. But in an article that I previously posted called God Helps Ease Our Concerns, I tell the story of how one night I was really feeling quite all alone. That night I asked God to give me a sign that everything was going to be okay. This is what I wrote in that article:
