"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom."
Little flock. How adeptly Jesus speaks to our need to be nurtured, cared for, watched over, protected. We pretend to be big strong individuals, autonomous, brave, untouchable. We are not. And yet he loves us still. He loves us because. He is pleased to give us the kingdom. I am pleased to take Gabriel and Abby and Amelia to the playground, knowing what is in store for them. How much more is our father pleased, delighted, overjoyed, satisfied, to offer us His very best. He stopped at nothing to give us this gift. He stops at nothing still.
