Whenever I have a dream about my mother, usually the Lord is giving me something about my church. When I think about God as my heavenly Father and the Church as a mother, I begin to see who we are to be to those around us. Our Father is a provider, protector, and spiritual head. The mother is the nurturing caregiver of her children. As a church, we should be loving, nurturing, caring, and giving to those in our household of faith. In Galatians, it says do not be weary in the doing good for others, especially among the household of faith. We should be caring for other church members as we care for own children. What an awesome responsibility! |
