So much of life is about the choices that we make -- we can sit on a rock and talk about the weather, the temperature of the water, the wind, the sun, and how we just don't feel like flying anymore. Or we can spread our wings and fulfill the purpose that we were born for. Until we climb off the rock we cannot know the joy of soaring.
Each one of us is a unique creation of our heavenly Father -- He made each of us with gifts, talents and abilities. When we sit on the safety of that rock, we forgo the joy He prepared for us. There is a marvelous scene in the movie Chariots of Fire in which Eric tells his sister that " ... God made me fast, and when I run I feel His pleasure." What a marvelous way to live our lives, looking forward to knowing that we are exercising the gifts He planted in each of us and feeling His pleasure as we soar on eagle's wings.
We need a new perspective -- are we living our lives sitting on the rock or are we soaring? When was the last time you chose to soar and felt His pleasure?
Keep the faith
