In only a split second, the dragonfly came to rest on a leafless stalk emerging from the water. They are such interesting creatures.
Dragonflies don a variety of velvety rich colors.
Dragonflies have the ability to stop in mid-air and hover in front of you, contemplating your very existance in their world, only to warp into hyperspace before your very eyes, disappearing as quickly as they appeared.
They also have six legs.
And that is worth mentioning because.....
Dragonflies cant walk.
Their legs allow them only to stand.
If they are going to soar to the heights or simply hover in their dragonfly sort of way, they must fly.
They must fly with the wings that God provides for them.
A dragonfly could choose to stand and not fly, but it would do so at great personal loss.
After living a short, stationary existance, only eating the few insects that crossed its path, it would die, certainly not having fulfilled its potential.
The good thing?
As far as I know, all dragonflies choose to fly.
But what about people?
What if we had spiritual legs?
They would allow us to stand and to walk toward faith---but fly?
We would need spiritual wings.
Wings that could only be given to us by God.
Wings that would take us to marvelous places that we could never experience while standing.
Wings with which to soar to the highest heights as our relationship with God grew deeper.
Wings that would allow us to be still, hovering as we take in the wonder of His presence.
It is God who gives us these spiritual wings, yet is we who must choose to fly.
