There was a point where the nature path went over from open area to a big forest. And just there was placed an old bench. I knew that from earlier walks.
So, I had adapted myself to relax there for a while. But when I reached it I saw an old couple sitting there. “Well, it is not my day,” I thought by myself. No one else was visible than that old couple just sitting on my bench.
I was already prepared to pass by, when they suddenly arose and walked away into the forest. With a feeling of slight relief and thankfulness I now came to rest on the old bench. I stretched out my feet and stared absent-minded in front of me.
It was really a beautiful winter day. A blue sky combined with clear, fresh air. But I wasn`t able to enjoy that. I felt depressed and exhausted. The shock of the last hour had been to deep.
While I was sitting in that strange on the old bench my eyes went unintentionally into the sky. And they got caught,- do not ask me why -, on some white clouds in some distance of me. They were exactly five ones standing side by side. “Have they been there all the time?” I asked myself.
Normally it would have been ridiculous for me to watch some clouds in the sky, but here wasn`t to watch anything else. A strange thought came into my mind: “Don`t they look a little bit like letters?”
So, I tried to look at them keeping this aspect in my mind. And really, I realized with great astonishment that every single cloud seemed to be shaped as a letter. And then I got it. At the sky was written, shaped by five clouds the word: J_e_s_u-s
I stared disbelievingly at the clouds. Could that really be? Was I am dreaming? I took off my glasses and tried it again. There was no doubt. The five clouds were shaping the name Jesus!
And in the same moment came a bible verse into my mind: “It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth …Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4,11 + 12)
And then I realized it in one moment. God had answered my prayer. He had let me see a miracle to help my fainting faith. I was stunned. Could it really be that God would do that?
But it was obviously. He had really done. At the sky was clearly readable the name above all names: Jesus
Wow thank's for sharing that God is good what a beautiful way of communicating with you.
