[00:00:16] Free to Soar
[00:00:19] One windy spring day,
[00:00:21] I observed young people having fun
[00:00:24] using the wind to fly their kites.
[00:00:27] Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes
[00:00:31] filled the skies like beautiful birds
[00:00:34] darting and dancing in
[00:00:36] the heady atmosphere above the earth.
[00:00:39] As the strong winds gusted against the kites,
[00:00:42] a string kept them in check.
[00:00:46] Instead of blowing away with the wind,
[00:00:49] they arose against it to achieve great heights.
[00:00:53] They shook and pulled,
[00:00:55] but the restraining string
[00:00:57] and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow,
[00:01:00] facing upward and against the wind.
[00:01:03] As the kites struggled
[00:01:05] and trembled against the string,
[00:01:07] they seemed to say,
[00:01:09] "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!"
[00:01:14] They soared beautifully even
[00:01:16] as they fought the imposed
[00:01:18] restriction of the string.
[00:01:20] Finally, one of the kites succeeded
[00:01:23] in breaking loose.
[00:01:25] "Free at last," it seemed to say.
[00:01:28] "Free to fly with the wind."
[00:01:31] Yet freedom from restraint simply put it
[00:01:35] at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze.
[00:01:38] It fluttered ungracefully to the ground
[00:01:41] and landed in a tangled mass of weeds
[00:01:45] and string against a dead bush.
[00:01:47] "Free at last"
[00:01:49] free to lie powerless in the dirt,
[00:01:52] to be blown helplessly along the ground,
[00:01:55] and to lodge lifeless against
[00:01:57] the first obstruction.
[00:01:59] How much like kites we sometimes are.
[00:02:03] The Lord gives us adversity and restrictions,
[00:02:07] rules to follow from which
[00:02:09] we can grow and gain strength.
[00:02:12] Restraint is a necessary counterpart
[00:02:15] to the winds of opposition.
[00:02:17] Some of us tug at the rules so hard
[00:02:20] that we never soar to
[00:02:22] reach the heights we might have obtained.
[00:02:25] We keep part of the commandment
[00:02:27] and never rise high enough
[00:02:29] to get our tails off the ground.
[00:02:32] Let us each rise to the great heights
[00:02:35] God has in store for us,
[00:02:37] recognizing that some of the restraints
[00:02:40] that we may chafe under
[00:02:42] are actually the steadying force
[00:02:45] that helps us ascend and achieve.
