With Father’s
Day coming up, there’s attention focused upon our dads.
And, in that
mix, we’re reminded how God is the complete, perfect and loving Father.
And that’s
great.
However,
what gets lost, so much of the time, is how God is also a mother. God has
masculine AND feminine characteristics.
“As one whom his mother
comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
And that’s
not a bad or an inferior thing.
When we
think of unconditional love, mothers often come up.
Moms are supposed to love
us, no matter what. We could be serial killers; there’d still be someone out
there who looks at us as her “little baby.”
And how much
more does God?
“Since you were precious in my sight… I have loved you…”
Isaiah 43:4
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels
nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor
height nor depth nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39
And that’s
the thing to keep in mind, no matter if you had a dysfunctional relationship
with either your father or your mother. God is the complete, perfectly loving
Father- and Mother. God loves YOU-
Right now.
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me,
saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with
lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
Jeremiah
31:3
Pay more
attention to that spiritual Truth than any pronoun out there!
