He preached to large crowds, but called individuals to His care and purpose. He gives a personal salvation, a personal covenant, personal forgiveness, and becomes a personal High Priest, interceding for us. Jesus is a personal Savior for helpless human beings. A general love for humanity means little until it becomes focused on one person_then it means life and death.
#Eye on the sparrow how to
I had come to see how to love one little bird, and to see its response to love. Love for birds in general would mean little unless God loved each one in particular. Then I thought about the Father_the Father of little sparrows, and about Jesus Who said to His disciples, “You are worth more than many of them.” PERSONAL LOVE I have never been a bird watcher or thought of myself as a bird lover, but the little perky creature became an object of my love. I must confess that I loved the little bird. And, more than once it messed on my hand. In the following five days, it learned to climb into my hand and feed on bits of crushed apple, banana, parakeet seeds, and to drink water. I decided to feed it and give it some water. It had struggled its way through the grass, up the step, and back onto the concrete patio. Not knowing what else to do, I took the little bird to some high shrubbery about a hundred feet away, hoping at least that a dog or cat would not kill it.Ībout two hours later, I was amazed to see the little bird back on our patio. It finally landed in the soft grass near our patio. Recently, a baby bird fell from the roof of our home, where it must have fallen from a yet higher nest in a nearby tree. This statement would seem incomprehensible but for the fact that we are dealing with the One Who made innumerable galaxies as well as small birds. Jesus told His disciples that not a sparrow falls to the ground without His Father’s knowledge (see Matthew 10:29-31). I have been reminded once again that love is just another academic topic until it finds the object of its affection then it becomes all-consuming. I have tried to write this letter three times, but as I was writing it, something unusual happened that affected my understanding of God’s love. This month, I wanted to share with you some thoughts about God’s love. I pray that your summer is going well so far.
