The Maternal Heart of God

There is one thing we all have in common: a mother. For some our mom means fond memories of a nurturing and caring spirit, for others, our relationship with our mom was defined by difficulties and challenges. But whatever the case, we all share a picture and desire for who only a mom can be in our lives: and it may be the toughest job on the planet. So how do we best honour our moms on a day like Mother's Day? What can we learn about God from our moms? Does God really have a maternal side?
