But if you were to let go of a kite's string, it drifts and then crashes. There's no opposing force to the wind so it has no ability to rise on the breeze.
I liken the wind to the Holy Spirit. As Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:7 and 8(BBE), "Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth. The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit."

Skilled kite flyers know how to maneuver them to wherever they want them to go. As Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit in John 16:12 and 13 (BBE), "I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now. However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come."

I'll be writing about the importance of a right relationship with Christ in You Think You're Going to Heaven? My hope is that people will read my book and seek Christ's forgiveness. May the Lord bring many into his kingdom through the work of my hands.
On Thursday, I'll post about what worship is.
