The Sky's the Limit'

 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is Light
                                       Matthew 11:30 KJV


People are often afraid that commitment to Jesus
Christ Mean's endless list OF "don't" and "thou"
shalt nots."
    Highlight motivated personalities are especially
Vulnerable to the lie that God's wayside Will
restrict their creativity and growth. They fear they
may never reach their full potential if they are
tied to a lot of religious restrictions.
   Sadly, some of the smartest people on earth will
never reach their full potenial because they aren't
tied to Jesus. The same holds for those who see
His commands as "taking away all their fun." The
fact is, true and lasting joy comes through
knowing Jesus and following Him.
    Consider this: You have watch a kite fly in the
wind. Would you say the string that hold it is
burdensome? No, it is to control the kite. The kite
will not fly unless it is in partnership with the
string. The string and the kite are yoked together.
You cannot cut the string and expect the kite to
soar right up into the heavens. When the
restrictive yoke of the string is cut, the kite may
seem to fly freely for a moment, but it will soon
crash to the ground.
     String gives the kite direction and purpose by
sustaining its position against the wind and using
the wind to its advantage. Without the string, The
kite would be at The mercy of every passing
influence and would doubtless end up being
trapped in a trees or falling to The ground. When
it is time for the kite to come to earth, The string
gently reels it In, safely missing tree limbs and
telephone poles.
      In like manner, our daily surrender to the Lord
Jesus is not burdensome, nor does it take away
enjoyment in life. Like the kite string. He makes
certain the wind is our favor and we are always in
position to get the most out of life.
       Let Jesus be your "kite string" today, and see
if you don't fly higher!
