I've always felt a feeling of joy on Mother's Day simply because it is ALWAYS on a Sunday. Why? Think about it....
God, our Lord!
Granted, we always seem to address God as "Father" or "He". However, ever stop to think he has motherly qualities as well?
"I will comfort you there in Jerusalem
As a mother comforts her child."
Isaiah 66:13
"He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."
2 Corinthians 1:4
"He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."
2 Corinthians 1:4
Many think that when God comforts us, our troubles should go away. But if that were always so, people would turn to God only out of desire to be relieved of pain and NOT out of love for Him. We must understand that being "comforted" can also mean receiving strength, encouragement, and hope to deal with our troubles. The more we suffer, the more comfort God gives us. If you are feeling overwhelmed, allow God to comfort you. Remember that every trial you endure will help you comfort other people who are suffering similar troubles.
