<p>The love of God for His children . . . is there a love any bolder?</p>
<p>Woven through scripture, like the ribbons on a newborn’s quilt, are gentle reminders that God’s love is like that of a mother: deep, unrelenting, bold.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you . . .” (Isaiah 66:13).</em></p>
<p><em>“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?</em><br />
<em>Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands . .”</em><br />
<em>(Isaiah 49:15-16).</em></p>
<p><em>“But we were very gentle with you, like a mother caring for her little children . . .”</em><br />
<em>(1 Thessalonians. 2:7)</em></p></blockquote>
