God is speaking to you! ~ God Speaks To Us Quotes ~

Before I understood it, God was speaking to me. As I look back, I see how God was guiding and directing me. He knew what was going to happen in my life, and He wanted to bring good out of it.

I did not know God, but I felt compelled to do certain things, like go to the library and pick up Dr. Peale's books. I felt an urgency to read and type out tips. I knew deep down something was up.

Our Bible verse says. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8 NIV

God was instructing me and teaching me in the way I should go. Even though I didn't know Him at the time, His loving eye was on me. God's loving eye is on each of us.
