”The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.“

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God was not in the fire and not in the earthquake, but God was in that soft little voice.

Speak to me softly and I hear you. Yell at me and I shut down  and do not hear you.  

I was always a highly sensitive child, but I always had a childlike faith. I believed in Jesus. I can remember, I wanted a bunny rabbit. . Growing up on a farm where bunnies rabbits were plentiful, yet I could never catch one.   I was dreaming of finding one, and I thought I heard Jesus whisper “At the end of the field you will find a baby bunny in a nest built by his/her mother”.  I took off running to that location – I knew and believed I heard Jesus’ whisper my baby bunny was there waiting for me.  Nope, nothing there.  I turned and started my walk back.   I knew I heard that whisper, so I turned around and ran back to the spot he/she was to be. Nothing.  Later in life, I learned there were three voices a person can hear. 1:  Jesus voice; 2: The devil’s voice; and 3: your own voice.  I am sure it was my own voice and my own desire I heard, and I let my great imagination take over and made my desire Jesus’ desire.  However, my childlike faith stayed with me. I realized many of my beliefs.  I still do have that kind of faith.  It’s something that dwells deeply in my heart.  And, yes, Jesus does not yell at me.  He speaks softly – He whispers!
