YOU ARE LOVED
A mother’s love for her children is one of the strongest and most mysterious forces in the world. It carries her through the pain of childbirth. It washes over her face as she smiles at her baby for the first time. It endures through exhausting days and sleepless nights, over the course of months and years. It is nurturing, faithful, protective, and sacrificial.
Isaiah 66:12–13 NKJV
For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then you shall feed; On her sides shall you be carried, And be dandled on her knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

Storge – familial love, pertaining to the love between parents and their children.
As wonderful as this love is, it’s limited
Agape is the nature of God and His love never runs out.
A Mother’s Love Is Nurturing.
1 Peter 2:2–3 NKJV
as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
She is Comforting
2 Corinthians 1:3 NLT
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort
A Mothers Love Is Contagious.
1 John 4:18–19 NKJV
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
Ephesians 5:1–2 NKJV
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
A Mother’s Love Is Protective.
Psalm 18:2–3 NKJV
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
Joshua 1:9 ESV
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
A Mother’s Love Is Faithful.
Numbers 23:19 NKJV
God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
A Mother’s Love Believes The Best
A Mother’s love is sacrificial.
More than anything, a mother’s love is sacrificial. A mother stretches herself literally and metaphorically, from the time of conception until the twilight of her own life. A mother never stops being a mother. In this way, a mother’s love teaches us the deepest and most profound truth about God: that God loved us enough to come to earth, take a human body, and sacrifice himself on the cross for us.
1 John 3:1
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!”
Isaiah 49:15–16
Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.”The post You are Loved first appeared on Covenant Life Church.
