Expanding my wings...

out to God. God's given me them to me so that they may span and I may fly with him. Those wings are wings of grace, that I may fly.My wings are slowly stretching out in His understanding.
Thank you Lord that your love lifts me.

"People are so frightfully rigid and limited in their understanding of things. Do you not realize that God can be present in many different ways? In whatever form he uses we should be careful not to prejudice ourselves and say, 'He can't come in that form, or this form,' because if we do, then we reduce God to our own limited image, and in doing that run the risk of rejecting him if he comes to us in a way we don't expect. God may be one and he may be simple, but he can also manifest himself in many facets of his greatness.
Look at the sun. The sun is one and it is simple. However, there is the sun itself, and there is the heat and the light that touches our lives. We know the sun when its rays disperse the darkness of night. A blind person knows the sun by warmth. They are different, but they are expressions of the same being. It is the same with God. His oneness cannot be defined by our understanding of oneness."
From-- Joshua, A Parable for Today, Father Joseph F. Girzone. p.201

More and more I am experiencing God's gift of grace. I see it everywhere. Swans are beautiful creations who reflect God's grace for me.

I feel that as a person I have become frigid in my understanding of who God is, more and more I feel God giving me the courage to spread my wings and fly with him. Because for awhile I just in my own way kept to myself because of my lack of belief in myself and the lack of trust (now I see) that I haven't had in the Lord to make me who I know I feel that I can be. Still, He gives me the grace and able-ness to go with Him. He is with me is what He keeps telling me. Sooo, like this little swan, I'm grabbing on to what I can, however small that is, and I want to come to Him and take part in His Kingdom.
