When the road ahead is long and hard…!!

When an eagle wants to teach its young ones to fly, it carries them on its wings to the topmost rock, then flies off the rock with the young eaglets on its wings. After flying off the rock the mother eagle lets go of the young eaglets and leaves them to find a way out, but she doesn’t abandon them she just gives them a few moments and when they seem to be falling out of the sky, she swops on them and lets them perch them on her wings again, she repeats this process till the young eaglets realize they are supposed to open their wings and use them to fly. As she repeats the process she goes to a higher altitude each time so that her young ones can learn how to fly at high altitudes. I believe in the same way when God has to teach you something He takes you on the journey and lets you try it out as if He is not there, as you start to feel the waters are coming up to your nose He comes in and lifts you up and does it again till you can deal with the new situation in your life, if He didn’t teach us how to survive the storms of life we wouldn’t really grow , instead we would be forever infants in dealing with life issues..and we would never really grow to our fullest capacity and use our God-given survival mechanisms and even our intelligence. So when it seems as if the road is hard and the mountains too steep or valleys too deep and dark , remember God has brought you this far and will not leave you to figure it out yourself but will make a way only if you ask Him to show you. Nobody said the road would be easy, as the song goes, but it is certainly worth it and as you look back you will see how strong you have become with each new challenge.
