The Parable of the Kite

At times, we can mistakenly view God’s commandments as restrictions holding us down. Instead, they act like a kite string, supporting us as we soar to greater heights.

God doesn’t expect you to be perfect, but He does expect you to try your best. His commandments are for your benefit—to protect you, to help you become better, and to build your faith. When you struggle with what God has asked you to do, pray for strength.
