GOD’S MOTHER LOVE.

One never outgrows the need and the value of a mother’s love. The child in the man is the best part of the man, and it is the mother that meets his child nature, from the beginning to the close of life. When an honored and aged man needed sleep in the restless weeks of his closing life, he could be comforted to rest by one sitting by his bedside, and patting him to sleep, and singing lullabies to him, as his mother had patted and sung to him when a weak little child. The mother side of a father’s nature is the father’s best side. Even God, as our Father in heaven, recognizes this, and He assures us that there is a mother side to His love, which He knows we need. Therefore He says, “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.”—Anon.
