A Love Lamentation


Matthew 23:37
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

My prayer is that all mankind will be willing to be gathered in the loving arms of Christ Jesus and that no soul shall perish. When you read this passage are you able to see the enduring love that our Lord has for his children? How can we fathom his heart of compassion or depth of love. We must seek him and go deeper in prayer and fellowship.

Lord, a love lamentation for the gathering of your children is still calling out today, as in the days of old. We can hear your cries Lord Jesus, and today we say, we are willing, come Lord Jesus come, we long to be gathered as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. We long for your very presence. We are willing Lord Jesus that you come and gather each of us…..gather us up O Lord, and let us find comfort, shelter, and protection in your presence. Amen.
