I dont just want to fly, I want to soar...
"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength;They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31With our faith in Christ we can overcome anything we face. We don't have to hide, we can stand, with our heads held high,knowing He is with us all the way. Remember when your children could hold their head up? Then they could roll over, then came sitting up,then came crawling, then came walking, and then they could run like the wind. After running, does anyone really want to crawl again? Remember being a kid and feeling how free it felt to run in a field? What about flying a kite with your dad? Remember the joy,the laughter you shared? I can, flying kites is something I do remember, and after the kite got up and began to take off, you had to hold tight to the string so it did not get away. That kite was soon soaring in the wind, above the trees. It was a beautiful sight to see. Where I live now, we sometimes see the big hot air balloons. They are amazing to watch. They go higher and higher,over the trees, the clouds and they soar through the air. We can be like those balloons, kites and eagles soaring overhead if we walk with our faith. If we live for Christ, if we give Him all we have, the lighter the load,and the more we can soar. The more we keep hold of, the less we are going to fly. So, today I say, just let go. Let go of all you are carrying deep inside, give it to Christ and get ready to fly with wings like eagles...
