Put the kite away!

Today I'm wrestling with my desire to chase the wind or to remain in this calm windless place. Jesus wants me to stay right where I am but I want to run off and fly kites. Jesus please help me to stay right here where you want me. Please change my mind because what I want to do and what you want me to do are two different things. Jesus, your old friend King Solomon said: "Better a handful with quietness than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind." I know that's my answer. I need to remember the toil and grasping and kite-flying involved in getting everything I want. I'm putting the kite away!
