Yvette's Whispers of Faith

My dearest, most cherished friend, When one is intimately acquainted with the designs of Providence, the distractions and disarray of this world lose their power to unsettle the soul. Discouragement, that most persistent of foes, finds no lasting foothold—not even when life presents its most vexing trials. Those burdens which once seemed immovable, which no amount of prayer or declaration could ease, shall no longer hold dominion over your spirit. And why, you ask? Because you, my dear, have come to understand a truth most glorious: if a thing resides in your life, and it is not born of rebellion, then it has surely passed through the hands of the Almighty. He has allowed it—nay, ordained it—to shape within you the very likeness of His beloved Son. Take courage, sweet soul! All things—not merely the pleasant or the easily understood—work together for good to those who love Him. You may protest, “But I cannot yet discern the purpose!” Ah, but you shall—only wait with patience. Wh...

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...

Dearest reader, To hear from the Divine is no small pursuit — it is an art, a discipline, and above all, a desire born of love. If your soul longs to hear His whisper, then let your heart prepare in these three tender ways: First — seek Him in time and place. Whether at the break of dawn, as soft golden light spills through the curtains — “In the morning my prayer comes before You” (Psalm 88:13, NIV) — Or in the hush of twilight, when the day's bustle begins to fade — “Let my praise be like the evening sacrifice” (Psalm 141:2, NCB) — Or scattered throughout the hours — “Evening, morning, and noon I cry out” (Psalm 55:17, NIV) — What matters is not the clock, but the consistency. Choose a time, a place, a corner of solitude — and return to it as a lover returns to the garden. And how long shall this sacred meeting last? Long enough to lay your burdens bare, and still your heart until you hear His reply. Second — come with an open Bible, and an even more open heart. Before you ...
