Rising above the city’s skyline and up above the buildings, the blue sky is dotted with colorful kites. Each one having their own story. Each one having their own spot in the sky. As I sat on the roof gazing out over the beautiful sight, God spoke. He used the kites in the sky to speak directly to my heart.

Just as each kite is uniquely created by their kite flyer, I have been uniquely created by my Maker. Just as each kite is guided by the hands on the reel, I am guided by my Shepherd. As the kites soar in the sky, they catch wind and explore the clouds but they don’t waiver off course because they are firmly attached to the string that is in the grasps of the kite flyer. The kite flyer is in complete control of how much string to give and how much string to reel in.

We are all kites. Different sizes, colors, and shapes. But we are all designed to fly by our Creator. Our Creator will direct us where to go. We just have to catch the wind and trust that our Savior will take us to heights we never imaged.
