When I think of whisper, I think of tenderness, gentleness, beauty. And that was God's voice. The hard part with whispers, though, is we have to be listening for them. They are just loud enough that only the people listening will hear and those who are distracted won't.

About This Quote

Whispers are the little things that you don't notice because they are too soft. Whispers can be loud and they can be soft. They can be a gentle kiss or a gentle hug. When it comes to the whisper of a loved one, a husband will whisper something to his wife who will repeat it to her children.

The mother of two children may whisper to her daughter, "Hush now, hush now, don't cry." And then might pat her daughter on the head and give her a kiss. In this way, the whisper of a loved one goes from person to person until it reaches the ear of God.
