Feathers and Wings

Toledo, Spain, July 2011

"Most birds were created to fly. Being grounded for them is a limitation within their ability to fly, not the other way around. . . You , on the other hand, were created to be loved. So, for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around.

La mayoría de las aves fueron creadas para volar. Estar en tierra es para ellas una limitación de su capacidad de volar, no al revés... Tú, en cambio, fuiste creado para ser amado. Por tanto, para ti, vivir sin amor es una limitación, no al revés.

Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly. Not something I want for you. . . Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly. And if it's left (the pain) unresolved for a very long, you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.

Vivir sin amor es como recortar las alas de un pájaro y quitarle su capacidad de volar. No es lo que yo deseo para ti... El dolor suele recortar nuestras alas y nos impide ser capaces de volar. Y si se queda sin resolver (este dolor) durante mucho tiempo, casi puedes olvidarte de haber sido creado para volar en primer lugar.

I am God. I am who I am. And unlike you, my wings can't be clipped.

Yo soy Dios. Yo soy el que soy. A diferencia de las tuyas, mis alas no se pueden recortar."

Papá, o Dios, hablando de nuestra necesidad de estar justo en el centro de Su amor en el libro, La Choza, Donde la Tragedía se Confronta la Eternidad, por W. Paul Young.

Papa, or God talking about our need to be smack dab in the center of His love in The Shack, Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity, by Wm. Paul Young.

"Te cubrirá con sus plumas,

y bajo sus alas te refugiarás;
su fidelidad será tu escudo y coraza."

"He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

Psalm 91:4
