Just Send Me a Sign

 Have you ever had a moment when your fear, or pain, or confusion was so great that you asked God for a sign? Sometimes we may feel blessed and reassured when we receive what we perceive to be a sign. But what happens when you do not see a sign?  Are you not blessed?  

 Is it possible that the sign we need cannot be seen with our eyes?  What if the sign is just outside the border of our faith?  What if we needed to push the boundaries of our faith just a little further to see God’s sign. What if we needed to trust God’s Plan more than our own. Often it is these moments of despair or confusion or pain, we desperately desire to feel close to God. We need to know we are loved.  What if we stopped looking for outward signs and instead embraced our circumstances clinging to God. Is it possible that our faith would grow beyond the sign we seek? Perhaps we would understand that it was so easy to put our arms around God because He had been at our side the entire time.
