[:en]Prophet Zechariah called the people to repent, to rebuild the temple, and to renew their hearts of love for the Lord. For the Lord loves His people greatly and they are the apple of His eye. The word “apple” here resembles the “pupil” of an eye. It is precious, fragile that needs protection. And God is holding them close to His heart.
Let us recall how God loves us and how we are “the apple of His eye”. He teaches us, guide us, leads us and provides us our needs. Thank you Lord, for your everlasting love and kindness.[:]
