The longing to soar is sown into the fabric of man’s (and woman’s) soul.
A favorite song of mine was written years ago by singer Russ Taff and his wife, Tori. It begins while they stand and watch an eagle fly. They wanted to soar. Their song made me long to soar, too.
Then, they wrote of the magic of a newborn: “The image of two” – infinite mystery. Where does life come from?
The third verse has us reaching for the Eternal One. He reveals His creation to us. He has purpose for us. As the song says, life begins with Him and He made our spirits to glide on the wind with His.
What does that feel like?
He shows us His longing for us. He shows us His longing for us to want Him. Imagine that! Our Creator wants to be wanted by us and isn’t afraid to say so. Is there anything more humbling?
He invites us to fly with Him. To be free in His Spirit—His gift to us.
I’ve been hearing so much about the New Year, resolutions and all the rest of that. That’s to be expected at this time of the year. But we are invited at any time of the year to come to the One who holds freedom in His Hand. And He reaches out that scarred hand right in front of us. Everything we have ever longed for is right there.
He invites us to fly with Him.
What will we do?
Before the throne of God are four living creatures. “… and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle” Revelation 4:7d.
