Whispers of God

As we look around, we see a whirl of movement, an ocean of motion, and a breeze of hurry. We watch people impatiently tapping their foot while waiting in line, anxiously checking their phones as they wait for an important call, and recklessly driving way above the speed limit.

And once we discover it, our souls will not be satisfied until it becomes a regular occurrence throughout the day. As written in Whispers of God, God asks us to and promises us to, “Expect me, for I will be there.”

The two most important questions in this life are ‘who am I’ and ‘who is God?’ Whispers of God rev...
