These short stories about God are simple, yet deeply profound. Each one explores a unique aspect of His character – love, presence, and grace.
๐ฟ 1. The Whisper in the Wind
Elena was exhausted, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Life had hit hard: a lost job, a broken relationship, and a diagnosis she hadnโt seen coming. One morning, she shouted into the sky, โGod, where are You?โ
That afternoon, as she sat silently on a park bench, a gentle breeze stirred the trees. It carried the faint scent of lavender – her late grandmotherโs favorite flower. A quiet peace filled her heart. No booming voice, no thunder from heaven. Just a whisper in the wind.
In that moment, she didnโt need a miracle. She needed a reminder: God was there, quietly holding her through it all.
๐ โBe still, and know that I am God.โ โ Psalm 46:10
๐ง 2. The Cracked Jar
A poor man carried water each day in two clay jars tied to a pole. One jar was perfect; the other had a crack. By the time he reached home, the cracked jar had leaked half its water.
Ashamed, the cracked jar said, โIโm useless.โ
The man smiled and said, โLook at the path we walk.โ Beautiful flowers lined only the cracked jarโs side of the road. โI planted seeds there. You watered them every day without knowing.โ
The jar had served a greater purpose than it realized – flawed, but full of meaning. Just like us.
๐ โMy grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.โ โ 2 Corinthians 12:9
๐ 3. The Empty Chair
A pastor visited an old man who was too sick to attend church. He noticed an empty chair beside the bed.
โItโs for Jesus,โ the man said. โI imagine Him sitting there. We talk every day.โ
A few weeks later, the man passed away peacefully. His daughter said he was found with his hand resting on the empty chair.
Even in his last breath, he knew – God was with him.
๐ โAnd surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.โ โ Matthew 28:20
