Unconditional Love of a Mother

I was pondering this this morning. How the love of a mother to her children portrays Christ's love for his people. With mothers day coming up so soon. What must it have been like for Mary the mother of Jesus to watch her first born be rejected by his own people and killed? The Bible doesn't really say much about this which is a mystery in of itself. I was thinking about my mom and not matter what we have put her through she still loves us and has never stopped loving us. Just as Christ loves us no matter what we do. I always say that I have been twice blessed with two mothers. One who gave birth to me and one who raised me. Most people aren't that fortunate. Now I know that not every mother has unconditional love for her children but deep down she loves them. It amazes me how Christ can continually love me no matter what I have done or what I will do. It brings tears to my eyes. I can hope and pray that one day I get a chance to love my children the way God loves us. My hope is that everyone who reads this will come away blessed and the seed of Christ will be planted.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love I have become a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith as to remove mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing. Love is patient love is kind and is not jealous love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly it does not seek its own is not provoked does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things endures all things. Love never fails but if there are gifts of prophecy they will be done away, if there are tongues they will cease if there is knowledge it will be done away, For we know in part and prophecy in part,  but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child i used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like  child; when I became a man I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly but then face to face, now I know in part but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith hope and love abide these three but the greatest of these is love.
