God's Birds

January 23

Dr. Jerry Kirk, a preacher from Cincinnati, said, "God's love for us is unlimited but our ability to receive that love is limited because our receiving mechanisms have been damaged by the world around us.” He asked Dora, twice a widow, what made her so upbeat. "Every cardinal, I see I hear Jesus say I love you.”

The notion of damaged receptors speaks to me. The solution shared by Dora and Jerry changes how I look at all birds.Now when I see a bird I hear God say, "I love you."

"Consider the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap… yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26)
