Mothers are the backbone of many families. Their strong faith, hopeful outlook and unwavering love give their children the support and encouragement needed to persevere. They also provide a comfort no one else in the world can match. Their loving hugs and soothing words are a balm that heals even the deepest wounds.
So, it’s no surprise the God of the Universe can only compare the comfort He provides for His people to one thing: a mother’s love. Like a mother, He wants to heal our broken hearts. He wants to wrap us in His love and provide shelter from the storm. Like a mother, God cares for the wellbeing of His children, and He will do anything to provide for us.
This Mother’s Day, thank your mother for the comfort she provides you. Return the bear hugs and words of encouragement to show how much you appreciate the kindness she’s always shown.
If you don’t have the support of a motherly figure, God can step into that role and provide you with the comfort you need to heal and thrive. He knows your pain. He understands the void you’ve been left to grapple with. He is here for you.
And if you’re a mother worrying for your grown children or losing patience with your little ones, lean on God for strength. There will be days it’s hard to show comfort. But God provides us with unwavering love, and we are called to show the same love to the blessings He’s given us.
