The Gentle Voice on My Birthday
Back in 2009 or 2010, when I was newly married and living with my in-laws, I sensed that I wasn’t truly liked or accepted by many in the household. But to be honest, it didn’t bother me much. I stayed centered in myself, unshaken, and didn’t let their opinions weigh on my spirit.
There are moments in life that arrive like a soft breeze, too gentle to be forced, too powerful to be ignored. This is the story of one such moment—one that held my hand, quite literally, and reminded me that I am never alone.
It was early morning.
I had completely forgotten it was my birthday.
No celebration. No reminder. Just a quiet beginning.
But then… from my right side, I heard a gentle voice.
It wasn’t loud, and yet it moved something deep within me.
It said:
“I am always with you.”
That was it. Just those few words.
But they wrapped around my heart like warmth on a cold day.
Even now, I know with every part of my being—that voice was real. It was love in its purest form, softly breaking into my world to remind me: I am seen. I am held.
Let me be the pen. Lord, you be the writer!
Mercy
