The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.

Today I was thinking about all the things that hold me back from my freedom in the Lord.  I want to fly in my relationship with Him.  I don't want to be burdened by money or possessions or worries about tomorrow.  To live a life where I woke up everyday knowing that God will provide, knowing that even if He doesn't provide material things, I have Him, and that is enough...what a wonderful joy that would be.   

“Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.” ― C. JoyBell C.
