Hens

THE woman is feeding the hens their breakfast. The little one in the doorway is watching the hungry chickens. How they do gather together around the mother hen, eager to eat of the scattered corn! How gladly they come together at the call!
Hens are spoken of in Matthew 23:3737O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Matthew 23:37) when Jesus told His people, “How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!”
The Lord yearned over Israel, but they would not come to Him. Are you, too, going to turn a deaf ear to His desire for you to be saved? And to those who are His own, remember, dear children, you have now to please but One.
