Up early this morning about 5am it was very peaceful so had plenty of time to start the day with prayer and reflection. Read Spurgeon and just wanted to share his thoughts as it lifted my spirit and fixed my eyes on Jesus.
Isaiah 40;11
"He shall gather the lambs with his arm and carry them in his bosom"
He carries his lambs in his bosom,Here is boundless affection.Would he put them to his bosom if he did not love them much? Here is the tender nearness so near are they that they could not possibly be nearer.These are precious love passages between Christ and his weak ones.Here is perfect saftey in his bosom who can hurt them? They must hurt the shepherd first. Here is perfect rest and sweetest comfort. Surely we are not sufficiently sensible of the infinite tenderness of Jesus!
Spurgeons daily readings (287)
After those wonderful soothing words it was time for a chapter of Greek verbs,horse fed ,last nights dishes done,rhubarb picked for a few students,kids lunches made ,porridge on,breakfast and then the rush of our family to get to school ,college and work.
I hope you know our saviours love ,his rest and comfort today and you have time to be nearer to him
