I know that God looks after us during our entire life. Life’s little clues are proof of that, at least for me. Life’s clues are meant to steer us in the right direction, and to keep us out of heartache and trouble. They are always there, if one cares to see them. These clues always come at the crucial moment, before our mind is made up about a situation. They come as a series of visual clues, information we come across without searching for it but captures our attention somehow, strong enough to notice it. Clues also come as a comment from an unusual source, a stranger, or even as a comment from someone we know, but has no knowledge of the situation. Sometimes, it is the right word that you keep seeing over and over, everywhere. It is usually a subtle hint that we seem to notice but ignore many times. When we ignore these clues, in hindsight we see that these warnings were there, but we chose to disregard them. The effects of a wrong decision can last a lifetime. The longer you live, you learn to recognize these clues and to attune your perception, and you understand that a piece of information, however it may present itself, is there for a reason.

As a Christian, I see these clues as part of my daily communion with God, and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in my life, but there was a time when I was not completely connected spiritually. Now, I realize that God did care and sent those clues for me to see. Whether you are a Christian or not, or spiritually connected with your Creator or not, pay attention to those little life’s clues that are meant to save you disappointment and heartache in the long run; they are put there by your Maker who loves you and has your best interest in mind. Every time we say a prayer we become more receptive, aware, and perceptive. The more we strengthen our spiritual connection the more aware we become.

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God: I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
