This scripture feels like a hug from heaven:
"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 40:11(NIV)
He carries them close to his heart! What a perfect place to be. When we get weary physically or emotionally, we can trust the one who tends to our souls. He will not abandon us or leave us lonely.
Most of us spend our days tending to others at work, in the community and at home. Taking care of others is a big part of being human. Some days, it is easier than others. To be cared for is refreshing. In Him, there is restoration.
To be carried close to his heart means we are sheltered and protected. The Good Shepherd does not fail us. He doesn't push or pull. He gently leads us.
Today, I am grateful to be carried close to His heart.
