Once there lived an eagle in her nest on a tree. The eagle had laid eggs. Under the tree was a small chicken farm house. The hen had also laid eggs. The eagle and the hen both sat on their eggs to incubate them.
Unfortunately, one of the eagles eggs slips from her nest and fell down with those of the hen. The hen incubated the eggs and the little ones hatched. One of them was, of course slightly bigger than the rest. All the chickens including the special one started growing with the rest of the chickens. He started walking, eating, and playing like the rest of the them.
One day, the eagle, his mother, was flying high up in the sky and saw her little one with the rest of the chickens. She felt sad and called out to the little eagle, “Son, your place is up here in the sky. You are meant to fly high.” But the little one would not listen. He was so much connected to the hen and the rest of the chicken that he did not hear his mother.
Finally the eagle decided to fly down and get her baby in the sky. The moment the eagle came down towards her baby, all the chicken got scared of the huge bird and started shouting for help and yelling. On seeing the rest of the chicken shouting and yelling and his now mother doing the same thing, the eagle’s child thought he is supposed to yell and he also started to scream and yell for help.
Hearing heavy voices from his farm stead, the farmer ran towards them with a gun in his hand. He pointed the gun at the big bird and shot. The little eagle closed his eyes with fear. There was a big blast and silence for a short while. When the little eagle opend his eyes he saw a very small chicken farm house and very small chicken in it. It was the same farm house where he used to stay.
He found himself in the sky flying high with the rest of his brothers and his original mother. He was circling the farm house in seconds he used to circle it once in half a day. The house was too small.
Similarly, when God calls us we are not able to listen to him. We are meant to fly high and not fight over petty things in life. We are supposed to be close to God, but 99% of the time we are not. That is why small things appear big to us and tasks are tough and time consuming. We are the children of God but, we do not behave the same way. So get connected to HIM so that you can achieve everything easily and effortlessly.
