What do Mothers Teach us About the Heart of God?

 

  1. Mother’s exemplify the nature of God’s comfort

Isaiah 66:13

“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

 

  1. Mother’s live out God’s heart of sacrifice              

Isaiah 49:15-16

“Can a mother forget her own baby, and not love the child she bore” Even if a mother could forget her child, I will never forget you. Jerusalem, I could never forget you! I have written your name on the palms of my hands.”

 

  1. Mother’s display God’s protective heart

Luke 13:34

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!”

 

  1. Mother’s reflect the gentle nurturing heart of God

1 Thessalonians 2:7

“As an apostle of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but we were as gentle among you as a mother feeding and caring for her own children.”

 

  1. Mother’s pass on the godly training to be content and secure in God’s presence

Psalm 131:1-2

“O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.”
