"Are not two little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's consent and notice. But even the very hairs on your head are numbered. Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows." (Matthew 10: 29-31
On my walk this morning, I came across the body of a baby bird that had fallen from it's nest and died. While it was a sad sight and reminder of the darkness of this world, the words of the above verse immediately came to my mind. I needed to be reminded that I am under the care of a Father who loves me. Right now I am walking through a dark valley in my life. I am fighting cancer and also taking care of my daughter, as best I can, who is struggling against life-threatening illness. It comforts me to know that I am not alone, but held in the arms of grace moment by moment.
I pray that you will be comforted by these words in whatever you are facing today.
