A mother’s unconditional, sacrificial love leads to exhibit a compassionate heart, from which flows loving and kind, words and deeds. The term mother implies to feed, nourish, protect, sacrifice, teach, forgive, give, empower, launch, and much more. Bible readers find these characteristics in the Scriptures. Mother, grandmother, stepmother, mother-in-law, they are all in the text, and they are all of incalculable value in bringing up children “in the discipline and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4b).

If not, you will never reach a point in life where you are truly satisfied, because eternity beckons in your heart.

You and I are the recipients of God’s compassion, not because of some extraordinary goodness within us, but because of God’s great compassion. “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.” (Psalm 103:8) Just as children seek to imitate their parents, so we are to imitate our heavenly Father. It is the only way we will change the world in which we live.
