An eagle is not the largest bird in the world. 

At least we've got the ostrich, vultures, peacock, hawks etc. 

But an eagle is never jealous or envious of other birds. 

An Eagle never says "why am I  not as colorful as the peacock?" neither does he say "I  wish I was as tall as the ostrich?" The Eagle knows that his beauty is his ability to dare what others dread.

The ability to soar in the highest heavens, to see and comprehend what no other bird can, the ability to endure and live longer. 

An eagle is comfortable in and with his identity, he derives the greatest joy from the understanding of his creation. 

An eagle knows his purpose and doesn't not shy away from it. 

He has a sense of duty and responsibility (teaching the eaglets, helping them to embrace their their identities and purpose). 

An eagle is a symbol of strength, vision, courage, compassion, loyalty, humility, deliverance, greatness, power, staying power, consistency, and wisdom. 

No wonder God Almighty identifies with an eagle, He likens Himself to this wonderful creature. 

Are you an Eagle?
