When I think about the love of a mother, I think about an unconditional love that can conquer anything. Mothers have been known to move cars with their bare hands to save their children and will risk their lives for the sake of their children's lives.
The same is for our Heavenly Mother Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:9-10
9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
The mountain is Zion (Hebrews 12:22-23) and the Holy City Jerusalem, she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26)
Heavenly Mother came down out of Heaven to save us--the sinners who rebelled against God--deserving death (Romans 6:23), and is teaching us how to love as She (Christ) has loved us. Now, in the Church of God, we follow the teachings of Mother.
1. It is more blessed to give love than to receive, as God always gives love.
2. When we give glory to God, the glory returns to us.
3. A beautiful mind has no hate and brings forth a perfect love.
4. As Abraham was blessed with the better when he conceded to his nephew Lot, so we are blessed even more when we concede to our brothers and sisters.
5. Being arrogant means wanting to be served.
6. Though others do not work, we should not complain but do our work faithfully. Having the mind of a master makes us work with pleasure and with ease.
7. Arrogance comes from the mind full of complaint. When we serve God always with thanksgiving, complaint and arrogance recede from us and humility dwells in our hearts.
8. When we praise our brothers and sisters, the praise returns to us.
9. As the sea receives all the dirt and purifies it, we should have a broad and beautiful mind enough to cover up even the faults of our brothers and sisters.
10. Whoever wants to be led by the Lamb, should become a lamb smaller than the Lamb.
11. Sacrifice is needed to become a greater vessel.
12. We should endure present sufferings, for the kingdom of heaven is ours.
13. Even God didn't come to be served but to serve. When we serve one another without wanting to be served, God will be pleased.
I truly want to follow the wisdom of our Heavenly Mother, and live!
