John Piper on seeking to be covered under the wings of God: “God is not an
employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take
refuge under his wings. He is looking for people who will leave father and mother
and homeland or anything else that may hold us back from a life of love under
the wings of Jesus” (John Piper, “Ruth Under the Wings of God,” The Gospel
Coalition, July 8, 1984, https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/ruth-under-thewings-of-god).
