Is there a relationship that better exemplifies understanding, forgiveness, consolation, comfort, and unconditional love than the mother-child relationship? The Bible has much to say to and about mothers, including the spiritual parallels to the relationship God has for us. We share 13 passages of Scripture about motherhood for our contemplation: Exodus 20:12; Leviticus 19:3; Deuteronomy 5:16; Psalm 127:3; Proverbs 6:20; Psalm 139:13; Proverbs 1:8-9; Proverbs 22:6; Proverbs 23:22-25; Proverbs 29:15; Proverbs 31:25-30; Isaiah 49:15; and Isaiah 66:13. Genesis 3:16 is also referenced.
