I Need A Sign

It was 2:00am. I was sitting outside waiting for a sign from God. I said out loud, "do you even hear me?" I found myself in a very lonely place, questioning God, saying that life is not fair.


I was reminded of Romans 1:19- 20a. "Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen..."


After complaining about how sad I was feeling at the time, God revealed Himself to me. All of a sudden, something formed into the sky. As I looked up, I saw five streams of clouds. The clouds formed some sort of funnel. There were five different funnel clouds, which eventually met at a point in the sky. The clouds met where the moon was. This looked like a large hand reaching out in the sky. Where the "fingers" met, the moon was the center. And as I looked at the moon, I saw something so clear to me that I fell to the ground and began to sob. It was The Cross.


When you think you are all alone, you are not. God, the Creator of the Universe, hears all things. He hears all our cries, all our suffering, all our pain. God knows us inside and out. He knows what we need, and knows what we want. He is our Father in heaven, always loving us and watching over us.


Jeremiah 29: 11-14 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity."
