Love and relationships
A mother's love
A mother's affection and devotion, with its joys and exhaustion.
What the Bible can tell you
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!
Isaiah 49:15
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
1 Thessalonians 2:7
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Psalms 131:2
A human reading
A mother's love is sustained by many quiet gestures. If you live it with tiredness or guilt, remember that you also need care, and you do not have to be perfect to love well.
