The love of a mother for her child . . . is there a love any deeper?
The love of God for his children . . . is there a love any bolder?
Woven through scripture, like the ribbons on a newborn’s quilt, are gentle reminders that God’s love is like that of a mother: deep, unrelenting, bold.
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you . . . (Isaiah 66:13)
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands . . . (Isaiah 49:15-16)
But we were very gentle with you, like a mother caring for her little children . . .
(I Thess. 2:7)
A bold love: . . . the love of a mother . . . the love of the Father.
