The irony of all this is: With the Spirit of God I do have this ability--I can fly away with my God and be at peace with Him--leaving the world and all its earthly sorrow behind--I can snatch sweet moments alone with Him throughout my day and cherish the wonder love that He constantly bestows upon me.
I can soar to heights where my soul flies free. It is my choice--do I choose to remain in the depths or do I choose to fly away with Him?
If you are sinking in any way today, dear friend, I pray that your spirit will be lifted to new heights.
Sometimes it is hard to make what we know is the very best choice for us, but once we do, it is easier the next time.
