Matthew 23:37

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

After a severe harangue aimed at corrupt religious leaders, we see here what Jesus' true intention was, what he wanted to accomplish and surely what he would like to accomplish today. How tender are his plans for us, how kind and good. If we would learn to hide in him and stop running off on our own. Then we might find a place of safety and warmth and rest.
