S1 This week, allow Jesus to speak to you by co-opting Jesus’ words in verse 34 in the following pattern: “(Say your name), (your name), you who (speak out your sin) and (your sin), how often I have longed to gather you, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.” Find a quiet place and picture Jesus saying this to you. And response by pressing in.
