I Want to Gather You

Matthew 23:37-39 – “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Jesus is saying, “I want to gather you. I want to gather your children and bring you close to My heart, where I can protect you. I want you to grow and prosper in the grace and knowledge of who I am. I want to speak to you about what I am doing and give you light and understanding about what is to come.”

Are you willing to draw close to Him? The invitation to you and me today is the same as it has always been: Come close. 

It’s time to pray.
