This adorable little guy with a bold red breast and big feet flitted from safe place to safe place in our garden this week. His baby feathers were beautiful, but too short and untrained to enable him to fly.

He looked scared. Vulnerable and limited. In unknown territory outside of the nest. Exploring a much bigger world that was both exciting and terrifying.

Have you ever felt like that?

How comforting to know that we can trust the LORD to be with us! We are never alone. He does not leave us vulnerable and afraid.

He will be faithful to help us, to give us strength and courage, to grant His life-giving light for our path. 🌿
