You Were Made For Something More! Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. -Isaiah 40:31 Do you ever like you’re an eagle in a chicken yard? Like you’re grounded and pent up when you should be soaring? You know there is much more within you than you are experiencing and expressing in your life right now. You know God has a great purpose for your life and you cannot escape or ignore the inner urge to go for it. Know this: all eagles are uncomfortable in a barnyard; they all long for the clear, blue, open skies. When you are living in a place that keeps you from being who are - who you are made to be and from doing what you were made to do, you will be uncomfortable too. But also realize that people around you may not understand your desire to break out of the box you’re in. They may want to and try to clip your wings. When you hear their comments and questions, something inside you may ask, “What is wrong with ME? Why do I think the way I think? Why do I feel this way? Why can’t I just settle down and live a normal life like everybody else?” The reason you cannot just settle down is that you’re not a chicken. You’re an eagle! You will NEVER feel at home in that chicken yard, because you were made for something bigger, more beautiful and more fulfilling. I encourage you today to fan the flame inside you. Fan it until it burns brightly. Never give up on the greatness for which you were created. Never try to hide your uniqueness. And never feel you cannot do what you believe you were made to do. Realize that your hunger for adventure is God-given; wanting to try something new is a wonderful desire, and embracing life and aiming high is what you were made for. YOU ARE AN EAGLE!!! Trust in Him - Is there a longing inside of you for more? Begin to value yourself and your desires, because God values you and your desires. Walk out of any “chicken mentality” you may have, trust Him, and soar like the eagle you were created to be! -From "Trusting God Day by Day" by Joyce Meyer
