When God Plays “Mom”

Our granddaughter and her mom
I’m a dad and a grandpa and I’ve tried to be good at both. But when that little one gets hurt there’s no one like mom to take away the pain. Few images project comfort more than a mother holding her hurting child. A mother’s arms can dry tears like nothing else can.
God is our Heavenly Father, but that doesn’t keep Him from playing “mom” when we need Him to do so! “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” (Isaiah 66:13) That’s how Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit, as the comforter! God’s a great many things for us but I for one am glad that He is also Comforter!
