The Eagle

The eagle flys higher than any other bird, and it builds its nest in the highest places. When it comes time for the baby eagle to learn to fly, the parent stands by closely, watching protectively as the young one jumps from the nest and falls toward the earth. If the young eagle doesn't start to fly and keeps falling, the parent swoops down and catches the young one on its wing and returns it safely to the nest.
God is like that. He is higher than anything in creation. He watches over all. And when one of His children falls He comes down and offers His saving grace. Of course, we can reject Him. But God is always there for us, never far away. All we need to do is to accept His great and faithful love.
There is a Bible passage in Isaiah, where the prophet Isaiah speaks about this in terms of the eagle. It is one of my favorites. Here it is:

Isaiah 40:31 31"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
