Reading:<\/font>
\nLuke 13:18-35<\/font>
\n<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Listen to Jesus’ heart. Hear the love and sadness (so often they go together, you know):<\/p>\n

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!”<\/font><\/b> (34).<\/p>\n

Reading that verse this morning stirs my heart.<\/p>\n

That’s how I want to love my family. That’s how I want to pray for my family. That’s how I want to care for them and watch over them. That’s how I want to connect with them.<\/p>\n

Oh, wow. How desperately I need the Lord’s help!<\/p>\n

I am encouraged to remember that He has not turned away from this inept and imperfect husband and father. If I would (let Him), He will shelter me<\/i> close as a hen does her chicks.<\/p>\n
