Holding them close to his heart

Reading this long-time favorite verse in Isaiah 40 tonight, and comforted by it:

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young. (Isa. 40: 11 NLT)

Carried close to his heart, and gently lead. So encouraging today.
