The above picture tells a powerful story. The eagle’s love and devotion for its young is sacrificial. It is willing to go to great lengths to ensure the safety and well-being of its young. Such a display of love is indeed inspiring.

This reminds us of the love of God. God loves his children sacrificially, to the extent that he would send his Son Jesus to die for us. His love for us is on-going, offering us continued protection that will endure throughout this life, and for all eternity.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem…how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”—Matt.23:37.
