Tethered
by an Invisible Cord of Love
I
watched in delight at the presentation of dog and master as they performed an
obedience trial around the room. It was amazing to watch them work together as
one. The dog was not leashed, but walked in perfect harmony with his master as
if tethered by an invisible cord. This was the most touching exhibit of
something good coming out of one poor dog’s previously miserable life.
“And we know that in all things God works for
the good of those who love him,
who
have been called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
NIV
This
well behaved Labrador retriever had once been a throw away dog. One who had grown
up shut up inside a pen and forgotten but for food tossed at him from time to
time.
At
first he was grouchy, depressed, dirty, and listless. He didn’t know how to
trust, love, or even play and enjoy life. He possessed some pretty bad habits— but love
changed all that. This beautiful dog was drawn in by a trustworthy cord of love
changing his life forever. His life went from pain and misery to one of new strengths
and purpose.
Our
God is able to come to our rescue and turn our lives around. He knows our
greatest needs and our deepest desires. He is able to turn our weaknesses into
new gifts, talents and strengths for a life filled with purpose.
In
Christ we are made new in Him. By His love He is able to change our attitudes,
habits and our heart. When we turn to
Him, we walk in tandem to be guided, directed and loved every step of the way.
We
are tethered by His love, by a cord that may be invisible to the human eye— but
always visible by the heart who seeks Him.
