Consider the eagle. It is the king of birds. God is the source of its identity, mission, and behavior--God alone is the eagle's validation/affirmation/self worth, not other birds. The source of our "validation/affirmation/self worth" must be God, not society or physical things. We need to get out of the destructive cycle of dependency upon upon external validation. You were created an eagle. Be the eagle God made you to be, and Fly Like an Eagle.
