Wings Like Eagles

The climb was lonely, ruthless, and pain-staking. It seemed the rocks beneath your bare feet were sharpened for ages to draw out the flowing life from your veins. The day was cold and dark, and the trees moaned as winds seemed to tear away at your face. Your body was letting you down, fatigued and weary, crimson spots showing through your clothes. Your mind echoed the voices of the spirits waiting to devour the moment you fell.

But Now

Its all gone.

A Warrior you once were.

A Conquerer you have become.

At the top of this peak. The last rock that stands highest under stars.

YOU STAND.

Breathe in the crisp, thin air. Flows of light spill between the scattering clouds. The bitter wind becomes sweet breeze to which revives your muscles and replenishes yours lungs. Your body rises feeling weightless and renewed. Everything is so silent, yet seems so loud.

Seize this moment, take it all in. Feel it.

You look out to see the neighboring mountains, all inferior to the kingdom you now stand upon. Before you, lie the lands that left you forgotten, beaten, and lost. You hear the voices of the brothers who encouraged you to begin this journey But so few bravely scaled this rock.

You are...




Fearless





Not a coward.



But you must make one last move.

The life of this journey does not die. You are far from reaching the end, my Son.

HOPE led your heart up this mountain.

FAITH will get you off.

This is it.

You clamp your hands tightly closed. Take in one last breath. A step back on the highest point. Your veins warm and ready, your hearth throbbing.
The anticipation sends you forward. Your legs awaken, your body leaps. Your eyes closed.







A beam of light shines through to your face. Your eyes open again. You are high, high above the peak, rising fast.

You are FREE.

Keep going my Son

Reach me.

Past the suns and moons and galaxies.

Come to Me.

You are FREE.

Let My love guide you on your way to my arms.

I will show you everything



"Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary; his undertanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

~Isaiah 40:31
