"Fair and sweet is our Heavenly Mother in the sight of our souls; precious and lovely are the Gracious Children in the sight of our Heavenly Mother, with mildness and meekness, and all the fair virtues that belong to children in Nature. For of nature the Child despaireth not of the Mother's love, of nature the Child presumeth not of itself, of nature the Child loveth the Mother and each one of the other [children]."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 63)
What a wonderful and caring Mother God we have! If we think of the best mother this world could have in it, and how much that mother would pour out herself for her child, that is only a faint echo of the Mother love our God has for us! Our God is the most loving, kind, gentle, sweet, understanding, faithful and beautiful Mother of all! We could not have a better Mother than God and we couldn't be loved and cared for any more tenderly than God our Mother loves and cares for us. Our wonderful Mother sees us always as the apple of the eye, always sees us innocent and sweet, always adores us, always calls us "my darling little ones."
We are the blessed and precious children of that wonderful Mother, and we have all the goodness and innocence of little children. Our true and inner self is innocent and sweet. That inner child trusts implicitly in its Mother's love and never doubts its presence. That innocent one knows it is small and needing help and always looks to the Mother to give that help and provide all that is needed. So that little one doesn't have a single worry or care, doesn't need a thing, knowing what it is like to be in the safest and best place of all - in the care of a Perfect Loving Mother. That child has all needs satisfied and is completely quiet and at rest, knowing with certainty that the Mother's love will always be there wrapping around like a warm blanket. So that little inner child naturally loves the Mother and all the other children of the Mother. This is our true self, the innocent child who has never been harmed and never done any harm, who has always been loved and always reaches out in openness and love. This is our true way of being, and it is natural for us, since we are children of Love, to be loving too. We may not always see this little innocent one that is inside of us, but God our Mother is bringing that little one to feel free to come on out, simply by loving us with no expectations or limits. God our Mother is healing our hearts with love, Mother love that loves no matter what, that always believes the best about the child, that is always open and embracing and accepting. With such love pouring over us, our inner child can feel safe and ready to come out and play again, come forth and live freely again, come forth and be a little light of holy and innocent love in the world! That is the power of our Mother's love!
"You will be seen as innocent, faultless and pure children of God....You will appear...as shining lights in the universe, holding out the words of eternal life."
Philippians 2:15-16 (TPT)
A Prayer: O God my perfect and sweet Mother, Your love for me frees me to be my real self, makes my inner person shine with joy and love!
