I’ve mentioned before that we talk a lot about how God’s love can be seen through a good father, but we don’t talk as often about how God’s love can be seen through a good mother as well (God’s Love and Mothers). I’m going to do it again.

Good mothers love us when we’re difficult to love – like, really difficult. Good mothers are patient – very, very patient – with us when anyone else would have just left us to figure things out on our own. Good mothers are there for us when things are difficult, even when we might not deserve it. Good mothers will let us fail sometimes so we can learn to be better, and that same mother is there to help us get back up and move on.

God’s love is like that. God loves us when we’re difficult to love – like, really difficult. God is patient – very, very patient – with us when anyone else would have just left us to figure things out on our own. God is there for us when things are difficult, even when we might not deserve it. God will let us fail sometimes so we can learn to be better, and He’s always there to help us get back up and move on.

Just like a good mother, when we don’t deserve help and when we’re being difficult, God is there for His children anyway.
