The tale of the shrub and the eagle


So a friend of mine posted a thought on Facebook this week. It said that if we were feeling low then we needed to remember that ‘growth happens in the valley, not above the treeline.’

I guess that’s true if you feel that God’s destiny is for you to be a shrub! But what if God’s plans for you are to be an eagle? Then you are definitely going to be at your best when soaring high in the sky even above the clouds.

So many Christians feel that obedience equals suffering and difficulty and it shows – some of the most depressing people I have ever met are Christians. I have also found that this attitude has permeated church life, our service to God and our relationships with others.

But why can’t Christians believe they should strive to be the best? Like be the best husband you can be, or become everything God desires for you?

The best thing I have ever done has been to join with a group of people who decided that second-best was not goo = d enough! Who decided that Christians could produce better work than the rest of the world! Who purposed to bring glory to God by being professional and challenging the accepted status quo!

The result – the world’s first multi-hybrid online Bible engagement game for kids www.yahero.com No-one else has launched a multi-platform game like this, not Christians but more importantly not any secular organization either.

It sure feels good to be an online eagle. Join the eagle movement and stop shrubbering around!
