The warmth and tenderness of God’s mothering
Sometimes it can feel as if our security and happiness completely depend upon the presence of another person. Often this person is someone very close to us, such as a spouse or parent. But what happens when this person is no longer in our lives?
We would do well to remember this statement from Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896 by Mary Baker Eddy: “God is our Father and our Mother, our Minister and the great Physician: He is man’s only real relative on earth and in heaven. David sang, ‘Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.’
I kept thinking about how God’s shepherding takes different forms in our lives.
