SAFETY
“Keep me
as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,”
Psalms 17:8
King James Version
Pastor William O. Cushing wrote
the beautiful hymn “Under His Wings”.
“Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns
to His rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, There I find comfort,
and there I am blessed.” My heart
rejoices because the words in this comforting hymn are true.
There is safety and comfort under
the wings of our loving Heavenly Father. When it feels like everyone has turned against
you and satan attacks you with lies and discouragement, our Heavenly Father
will comfort and protect us. O how our
Heavenly Father loves us. He loves us so
much He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.
We read in the Bible “For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). There is no greater love than the love that
God and Jesus has for us.
John W. Peterson wrote a
beautiful cantata about our precious Saviour “No Greater Love”. Think about it. Jesus left His home, His Father and all that
He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins. Every time I think about Jesus enduring all
the pain and suffering for my sins, I am humbled that He loves me so much He
died for me.
If you ever think nobody loves
you, remember the cross and the unconditional love Jesus has for you when He
allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, curse Him, mock Him
and crucify Him for your sins. You are
loved by the Saviour of the world. No
one loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will.
“What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth
