WINGS OF LOVE

“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,”

Psalms 17:8 KJV

Pastor William O. Cushing wrote a beautiful hymn “Under His Wings”.  I love these words.  “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.”  Thank God for His wings of love.

I love this verse too “Under His wings I am safely abiding, Though the night deepens and tempests are wild, Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me, He has redeemed me, and I am His child.”  What a healing balm it is to our weary and battle scarred heart to know that God will protect us from danger.

Please join me in praising our Heavenly Father.  Pastor William P. Mackay wrote another one of my favorite hymns “Revive Us Again”.  “We praise Thee, O God!  For the Son of Thy love, For Jesus Who died, And is now gone above.”  Not only does God protect us, He also adopts us into His family when we are saved.

“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15).  What a privilege it is to be a part of the family of God.  Our Heavenly Father will never hit us or yell at us.  He will love us forever and He loves us unconditionally.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me even when I hurt You.  You are a tender loving, protective and compassionate Father.  Thank You for Jesus and thank You for adopting me into Your family and for giving me the privilege to serve Jesus.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
