God's love


' As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you. ' Isaiah 66:13
I was watching a baby Rosella in the bottle brush playing with the branches trying to see how to get his own food, fluffing up his inmature feathers and totally absorbed in his activities when he was suddenly startled and became anxious and called for his mother. She called back with a calmer call which almost said, 'All is well, I am here.' As soon as he saw her he flew right into her space and snuggled up against a familiar body , calmer, quieter and safe.
This reminded me of our Lord. We go off and do our thing, we work, we minister, we play and sometimes when we least expect it we feel anxious, threatened ,frightened and alone.
God is never far off, all we need do is call and he will respond and that finds us snuggling into his everlasting arms.
Grace this day, and peace, from our Lord Jesus Christ.
