Re: 有基督徒的姊妹小產過嗎, 請問你們對神的信心如何?
I found this in the Our Daily Bread website. No matter where I am, or what I am doing, God speaks to me in various ways. I have been really busy to get some reports done by today, so finally got time to read this during luch. It really speaks out what I feel.
I have been living in a comfortable nest that God prepared for me, wonderful parents and in laws, loving husband, lovely son, and even really helpful maids who I prefer to call them my helpers, but I am really not made this way just like birds are made to fly, not lying comfortably in the nest, and waiting for food to come.
So now, I am going through a very uncomfortable situation, learning to fly a second time. I thought I know how to fly already because I have tried once, and landed comfortably in my Father's hand. This time it feels really different. My body seems to be telling me that I don't know what to do. Father, I know you are here looking at me, but what am I supposed to do? I can't move my wings, and feel so frustrated. It feels really scary because my body is not in control, and don't know what should I do.
Dear Father, I know you are here looking at me, and want me to learn. I will try to fly. Even if I fell, the worse is falling in your arms.
So, here is the story I would like to share with you all:
***********
In the tender song of Moses found in today's Bible reading, God is portrayed as a dedicated mother eagle who can be trusted by her young, even in the scary experience of their learning to fly (Deuteronomy 32:11-12).
A mother eagle builds a comfortable nest for her young, padding it with feathers from her own breast. But the God-given instinct that builds that secure nest also forces the eaglets out of it before long. Eagles are made to fly, and the mother eagle will not fail to teach them. Only then will they become what they are meant to be.
So one day the mother eagle will disturb the twigs of the nest, making it an uncomfortable place to stay. Then she will pick up a perplexed eaglet, soar into the sky, and drop it. The little bird will begin to free-fall. Where is Mama now? She is not far away. Quickly she will swoop under and catch the fledgling on one strong wing. She will repeat this exercise until each eaglet is capable of flying on its own.
Are you afraid of free-falling, unsure of where or how hard you will land? Remember, God will fly to your rescue and spread His everlasting arms beneath you. He will also teach you something new and wonderful through it. Falling into God's arms is nothing to be afraid of. —Joanie Yoder
He will ever keep your soul,
What would harm, He will control;
In the home and by the way
He will keep you day by day. —Psalter
God's love does not keep us from trials but sees us through them.
