God and Mother Love

 You were created for love. How can you say that when we see so much hatred and cruelty around us?

How did love come into being between mother and child? Why do we long for love even when we do not know how to find it?

Who is the source of real love? Only God, who invented mother love.

Our human desire for love is often corrupted and twisted, but not destroyed.

Who is the source of real love? Only God, who invented mother love.

But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.”

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! Isaiah 49:14–15 NIV84

Jesus often spoke about love.

He spoke of the limited love of natural sinful people, and the unlimited love of God.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:43–44 NIV84

Love is generous and kind.

“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:9–11 NIV84

Genuine love is always practical. Whoever doesn't desire to give does not really love.

God is love. God's heart is open to you. He wants to help you and bless you with many good gifts.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17 NKJV

Perhaps you don't yet know God's personal love. You can know God today.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 NKJV
