It is well known that birds are devoted to their eggs from the time they lay them until hatching them. It is said that birds don’t let their bodies touch the ground. However, they attach their bodies to the ground closely, and pay attention to sitting on the eggs evenly. Once the young hatch, the parent birds become busy, looking for food. They bring food countless times every day, but they themselves hardly get to eat anything.
Although the parent birds are dedicated to their young, they become cold-hearted when the time comes for their young to leave the nest. They no longer feed the young like before. If the parent birds give them food whenever they pester them, the young gain weight, which makes it hard for them to fly. The young must be disappointed, but that is the best way for the parents to help their young fly.
God’s devotion to us cannot be compared with that of birds. God of heaven came to this earth where we, sinners, live and raises us with the utmost sacrifice and devotion to save us.
Sometimes, our tough lives let us feel that God does not love us. However, we ought to remember this: There is no error in God’s work for salvation. God’s love is never insufficient. It is just that now is the time for us to come out of the nest and flap our spiritual wings.
