** Reflection(s) **
He will cover you with his feathers, He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your amor and protection. [Psalm91:4]
Allow him to scoop you up into his arms. He will soothe every hurt, wipe every tear, and walk alongside you down his path. Because he is sovereign over all.
