Sometimes in life we just have to rely on knowing
that God is there and still cares about us.
Even when we cannot see Him in action,
He is still working.
The
Upward Pull
He stood aside
from his playmates,
His sightless
eyes to the sky,
And the cord in
his hands was tightly drawn
By the kite that
flew so high.
In his big eyes,
wondering, beautiful,
On his pale
little slender face,
There shone such
a rapture, such keen delight,
That someway it
seemed out of place.
And I could not
forbear to pause and ask,
”My laddie, what
pleases you so,
As you hold your
kite in the far-off sky,
Since its motion
you cannot know?”
He turned and
smiled as he softly said,
And his voice
with joy was full,
“I can’t just
explain, but it makes me glad,
When I feel that
upward pull.”
That Upward
Pull; it comes to us
‘In the
weariness of strife.
When we stand bewildered,
blinded and hurt,
Mid the fall of
our cherished dream.
It is good to
know that we cannot fail,
If we follow the
heavenly gleam,
And never an
hour may be so sad,
Nor ever a sky
so dull
But we may, if
we will, reach out and find
That God-given,
Upward Pull.

Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our
faith;
who
for the joy that was set before him
endured
the cross, despising the shame,
and
is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews
12:2
And I will share a couple cards I made :
Keep looking up!
