How God cares for us!

“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you” (Isa 66:13) 

By how many endearing epithets does Jesus exhibit the tenderness of His relation to His people. 

Does a shepherd watch tenderly over his flock? "The Lord is my Shepherd."  

Does a father exercise fondest solicitude towards his children? "I will be a Father unto you."  

Does a mother's love exceed all other earthly types of affection. "As one whom his mother comforts — so will I comfort you."  

Is the 'apple of the eye' (the pupil) the most sensitive part of the most delicate bodily organ? He guards His people "as the apple of His eye!"
