As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you. Isaiah 66:13 Mommy! My daugthers middle-of-the-night whimper drags me from my cocoon of sleep. She is up yet again with a flu bug that wont leave her alone, even at two in the morning. Her cries awaken compassion in my sleepy heart, and I use my gentlest touch and my softest voice to make her comfortable again. I pull the comforter up, smoothing her hair with my hand. Go to sleep now, I whisper. Everythings all right. She signs contentedly and closes her eyes. Back in my own bed, I remember a phrase: the mother heart of God. I have heard the phrase before, but tonight I understand it in a new way. It means I am not alone. I feel alone sometimes. When I am the one with the flu or when I wake up in the dark after a bad dream, I long for my moms presence and help. I still need her, even though I am 35 and have been gone from her house for many years. I think I will always need her special love and protection. It comforts me to think that, although my earthly mother is not at my bedside tonight,, God listens for my cry. With the heart of a mother, God whispers, Go back to sleep now. Everythings all right. Im here. by Sara in The Upper Room
