"Jerusalem! Jerusalem...How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!" (Matthew 23:37)
Have you ever watched a mama bird with her little baby birds? She guides them along their path, encourages them to try new things, and protects them under her wings. God longs to protect us and guide us. This passage in Matthew 23 equates God to a Mama Bird. I love this text, because it brings out the maternal characteristics of our loving God. It's sad, really, because the verse says that God's people have continually rejected His watch-care. How tragic for us, to miss out on the blessings of His love and mercy and grace. But He continues to offer His shelter and refuge. I don't know about you, but being all snuggled under His "wings" of love sounds pretty inviting to me.
For this page, I blended two colors of Ranger Distress Oxides: Barndoor and Mustard Seed. I activated the ink with some water to give them a speckled, layered effect. Then I stamped the title with the alpha stamps, added some texture stamping, and finished off with washi and a tab.
I pray that you will find shelter under His loving wings!
