Beef Stew With Dumplings

All those attributes of God that bring us so much comfort are revealed in the heart of a Christian mother. Even the Bible takes the heart of a mother and then uses it as an example for other biblical relationships. For example, when God wanted to illustrate His tenderness for His people, He said in Isaiah 66, “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem” (Isa. 66:13). When Paul spoke of his pastor’s heart for the church he said, “But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children” (1 Thes. 2:7). When David considered his hope in the Lord he said, “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother”(Psm. 131:2).
