What Mothers Reveal About God Lake Merced Church of Christ

- Christianity
Last week’s message was about hope, about growth from the ashes. Sunday’s message was about the next step, about comfort, such as the comfort a mother would give to her suffering child. We are God’s beloved lambs, and In Isaiah 40:11 we read, “He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart…”
Sometimes it seems like we have to suffer to appreciate the grace and comfort that comes after. But we know that God’s mercy is unwavering and pure. He will not say “I told you so” and then give you comfort. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, “...do not dwell on the past… I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” And in Isaiah 65:17-19, “I will create new heavens and a new earth...the sounds of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more.”
When we are suffering, God turns to comfort us and give us good news. God’s promise, and God’s desire for us, is to shower us with the kind of merciful love that a devoted mother would give. His love is boundless! He only wants to open His arms to us so that we can live with Him forever.
So many of us are suffering; are we ready to surrender now to the comfort that only our loving Father can give?
