We are born to soar

Once upon a time, a man found an eagle’s egg and placed it under a brooding hen. The eaglet hatched with the chickens and grew to be like them. He clucked and cackled, scratched the earth for worms, flapped his wings, and managed to a fly few feet in the air.

Years passed. One day, the eagle, now grown old, saw a magnificent bird above him in the sky. It glided in graceful majesty against the powerful wind, with scarcely a movement of its golden wings.
Spellbound, the eagle asked, “Who’s that?”
“That’s the king of the birds, the eagle,” said his neighbour. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to earth – we’re chickens.”
So, the eagle lived as a chicken for that’s what he thought he was.

Just to encourage us this week, all of us are designed to fly high and to soar in life, but what happens is that life and circumstances can sometimes ground us
And maybe that’s how some of us feel at the moment.

We want to encourage you to keep reminding yourselves that if you are feeling grounded, that’s not where you belong. It’s not your natural environment.
Keep persevering.

The eagle does not hide from the storm, it looks to soar above it as there is always sunshine above the clouds.

Verse of the week

Isaiah 40v31

“But those who wait upon the LORD(OR HAVE HOPE IN THE LORD) will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk
and not be faint.
