Catching Birds

Today, a bird flew into my house. As much as I tried to help it, the little bird was just so scared that she kept flying away from me. After two hours of pursuit, Brandon and I were able to catch a terrified little bird in a net and gently lead her to freedom.

God desires for us to be free; to live in the freedom in which He created us to live. So often we’re like that little bird. Scared to trust the One who can actually rescue us. As a result, we choose to stay in captivity.

Once we’re still. Once we allow ourselves to trust Him and receive help, He’s more than able and willing to set us free.

In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free. Psalm 118:5
