What if God loves fiercely and relentlessly like a devoted mother does? After all He did give her that love.
We can see today that part of Matthew 23:37-24:14 hints at this love: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing." Do you hear the ache and longing that a mother can have for wandering children? No wonder the scripture says: "Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." II Peter 3:9

Added to this, we need to remember that God's love is multiplied by trillions, really infinity, to include how big He is. Experiencing the Pacific and Mt. Saint Helen's power lately has me thinking on the Creator's bigness.
What a thrill it is to realize that God's love is deep enough and big enough to cover all my need, your need, and all His children's need.
Lord, please give us eyes to see Your children like You do and a heart to feel for Your children like You do. We ask for more of this "mother love".
