He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. Isaiah 8:6 NIV
My seven month old grandson loves flowers and plants reaching his sweet, little hands out to touch and to feel the colorful new sights that stimulate his mind. He is a rambunctious little guy and you would think he would just grab the tender leaves and smash them between his fingers. But he doesn't do that. He stretches out his hands and gently touches the petals of our red petunias barely grazing them with his fingertips.
Jesus is like that. He gently touches our hearts to lead us in the way we should go. He knows what we need when we need it and He is always tender knowing that we are fragile. Like the soft petals of petunias we can be easily crushed but we are guided by the Good Shepherd who carries us gently close to His heart.
To God be the Glory! Amen.
