Scripture: compassion for children (Isa. 49:15), comfort of children (Isa. 66:13), and sorrow for children (Jer. 31:15, quoted in Matt. 2:18). ..The fact that God would use a human mother to bring His Son into the world has bestowed upon motherhood its greatest honor. Jesus set an example for all to follow by the provision He made for His mother (John 19:25-27). Jesus made it plain, however, that devotion to God must take precedence to that of a mother (Matt. 12:46-50). Even the Old Testament (Gen. 2:24) indicated that a man’s devotion to his wife supersedes that to his mother (James A. Brooks).
The selfless acts of love performed daily by most mother’s reflects how they were created in the image of God and it reveals to this world that God himself loves and sacrifices like a mom does. The truth is mom’s sacrificial acts for her family and children reflect and point to a character trait of God that many fail to recognize. I know that God created male and female different and he designed them both to fulfill specific roles. But he made two people to represent all that He is. Men reflect one dimension of God and women reflect another dimension of God and it takes both of them together to get a true glimpse of the nature of God himself. Listen to what it says in Genesis 1:26-28: 26Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
