THE WHISPER TEST
THE WHISPER TEST

You are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you....
Isaiah 43:4
A young girl with a cleft palate and speech challenges was fortunate to
be in a classroom setting with a wise teacher. Each week the children
would take the Whisper Test. One at a time, the teacher called them
forward. She would whisper in their ear a question, like "What did you
have for breakfast this morning?", or "What is your Mom's first name?"
Then, when the child answered correctly, she'd exclaim, "Right! You
pass!"
One week was a bit different. This time when the teacher called the
little girl up, she whispered into her ear, "I wish you were my little
girl."
That was a magical moment for the child. It was the turning point from
her embarrassment and her insecurities. To know she was loved and
valued changed her life.
Ever wonder if anyone really loves and values you? I have a pretty
normal life, with a lot of love in it. Still, there have been moments
when I have asked that question. How wonderful that we all have a
Father, an Abba Daddy, who loves and values us unconditionally. That's
a tough one to comprehend. Yes, with our warts and all.
Sometimes when I pray, just chatting and talking things over with my
Abba Daddy, I'm sure I hear Him whisper, "I'm so glad you are my little
girl!" Try praying, talking with Him. Most assuredly you will receive a
special Whisper, and loving message, from our Father.
That is good news.

PRAYER
"Heavenly Father, you bless us with family and friends, both spiritual
and natural. Help me to love them with charity and grace. May I always
prefer your will and seek to do what is right and good in all my
relationships."
