Bird spreading its wings protectively over a nest, symbolizing God's tender shelter and care.
You are cradled under the shelter of divine wings.

Tuesday, May 6, 2025 — The Tenderness of God

Weekly Theme: The Heart That Nurtures


 

The hands that formed the stars
are the same hands that cradle you.


 

Words of Light


“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.”
— Psalm 91:4 (NIV)


 

Reflection


When we imagine strength, we often picture mountains, oceans, roaring winds.
But God’s strength is not only mighty — it is tender.
It is the strength that gathers, shelters, and carries.
The power that cradles, not crushes.

You are not only known by God — you are nurtured by God.
Held under the shelter of His wings.
Protected by a love so fierce, it chooses tenderness over display.

When you feel exposed or small, remember:
You have a refuge.
You have a covering.
You are gathered close to the heart of the One who made you.

  • Where in your life do you need to rest in God’s tender care?
  • How can you lean into the shelter of His love today?

 

Affirmation


I am cradled by a love that is both mighty and tender.

Peace,
Rita
