Under His Wings

Imagine being a little chic.

Small and fluffy and completely defenseless.

Just learning to navigate a big new world.

Learning that there are dangers about.

But there is safety under your mama's wings. Those wings feel amazing!

They cover you and hide you from harm.

It's warm and comforting here.

You know she will defend you with everything in her.

She is the one you trust with all your heart.

She helps you find your way in the heart-pumping adventure called life.

And if you want to stay alive and whole, you run to her when she calls!

Under her wings, nestled next to her heart, you are safe and warm and very content.

There is a moment where Jesus stops and looks over the view of Jerusalem below him. He knows what is coming for them. And his heart breaks for the devastation they are soon to experience. And these are the words that spill from him.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing." Matthew 23:37

So many times he had tried to warn them of danger.

And they would not listen.

I love this picture of him.

I love to see myself snuggled under his wings.

There I am safe, no matter what happens.

I am warm and loved and comforted and secure.

I am his little one.

And he is my covering for ever.
