Let's Go Fly A Kite!


Wow, I am sure life must be unusually busy and privileges like kite flying must be so far removed from your thoughts. However, on flying my kite yesterday looking into the heavenlies I realised how excited God was with my gaze constantly in his direction and occasionally even being blinded by his brilliant glory (The Son/sun).

Without sermonising my recreation or relaxation there was an element of intimacy in His presence. Bearing in mind the wind is on my face and blowing around my ears (had a haircut so it wasn't blow through my hair). The brilliance of the Son blinding me some what. I am barefoot on the soft white sand of the Knysna lagoon. My arm muscles are taught my heart is pounding with excitement. I am sure you are familiar with the scripture of keeping your eyes fixed (focused) on Jesus author and perfector of our faith. Heb 12:2

In this moment I sense his saying I love my son and my response in that moment took even me by surprise "thank you, Abba Daddy but about the fact that I didn't have time to: (The doing things) pray for Deon, give time to bible study, tell my wife I love her, complete my prep for Youth Alpha etc..." I sense He said "don't stress, I've got it all in hand, I've answered your prayers already, your wife she's just enjoying watching you being like a real kid know your heart is pure and warm, and the youth Alpha I am ahead of you, I am doing a work in each of those 32 kids, I am the sovereign God, I am the creator of all things, I want you just to be and I will 'do what needs doing.'"

Well at this point I have persperation flowing into my eyes and my tear ducts are working over time. I began to sing "How He Loves" by David Crowder (sung by Kim Walker)
