Reasons Birds Can Fly, Faith

Prompt: "The reasons birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is wings." J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird

Perfect faith. I would love to have that. I pray all the time. I get problems and think and worry. I need my faith to be stronger. Before Covid started, I had got baptized, went to Bible Study and was happier. I thought I was in tune with my faith. After Covid, I have been so down and still want my faith to be stronger. I want to put all my trust in the Lord. I am working on that. I listen to Dr. David Jeremiah and read Bible passages and Devotions. I want perfect faith.

I love little birds. God made them fly and I don't think they have perfect faith or know about God but they survive on instinct and fly because they were meant to do so and know what their wings are for. It would be great to have wings. I used to think when we die, we become angels and have wings. I am not sure. We die, go to Heaven and will no longer be sick or worried. We will be happy. I want that. Maybe if I have more faith, I will get my wings in Heaven. That will be beautiful. I can fly with the birds.
