Watching a kite soaring high while still bound to earth got me thinking; the disciplines
that at times tie me down are actually designed by God to lift me higher. Left
to the wind alone a kite will fly but soon crash. The string that holds it back
actually gives it lift as it is let out slowly, the wind carrying it to dizzying heights. In the same manner, left to my own devices, I too, will crash. It is both the wisdom of God and the goodness of God to tie me
to divinely designated restraints. Father, thank you for the commitments and
responsibilities I sometimes resent. You created me to soar, and with Your
binding hand and lifting breath, there are no limits.
