How often I would have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing. The double willing: ēthelēsa (I willed) / ouk ēthelēsate (you were not willing). The divine desire met by genuine human refusal.
PRAYER
Lord, let this truth settle in me today. Where I have run from you, remind me that you are still searching.
