This morning I was pondering with the Lord the delight of seeing His girls fly with their dreams from Him. One by one I am seeing the enemy lose his grip while freedom is taking root in many hearts. There is nothing quite like watching others fly. The process can be long and painful as the Lord uncovers hidden pain and helps each heart to become more and more His. While they fly, so do I.

I love learning of my sweet Father’s creation. I love that all creation testifies and points to The Christ in some manner. There is a great delight of seeking out unique nuances of each creature and the way Christ made them to live upon the earth. Each is a teaching to this heart of mine.

As I watch Christ call women into their God given destinies, I see little birds. Little birds uniquely gifted to deliver His heart and Kingdom in a way only each one can. It is lovely to have Him show my heart when I am gazing upon a swallow, an eagle, or even a lark. Each given amazing abilities, heart longings, and unique characteristics that cause me to view them with awe and wonder. May this poem give you the same heart position….of awe and wonder and may we also look upon hearts in a way that shows us who He created them to be…regardless of whether they have reached that place in their walk just yet.

 

There is a joy O’ Lord

That is seeming to rise

As I gently watch

With a tearful surprise.

 

The flight of the eaglets

Testing their sight

Practicing flying

A training of the eyes.

 

The sparrows they flutter

And flitter so kind

Fully now trusting

Your home for their life.

 

The swallows make new nests

Near the altar they’ve built

In the King’s palace

They hide in Your quill.

 

The nightingales grace us

With songs so surreal

That speak of the valleys

And how You do heal.

 

The larks they are lovely

A uniquely bred kind

For they are seen singing

While yet in mid-flight.

 

Lord, still I am mindful

Of parallels so wise

Of how Heaven speaks

Thru each dear birds life.

 

For in them is glory

You’ve placed for Your plight

So help me to see them

With prophetic sight.
