What are some aspects of God that remind you of a mother?
My personal (yet overused) favorite is used in the song On Eagles Wings. In nature, young eagles are taught to fly by being shoved out of their nests at great heights, only to be swooped up on the wings of their mother, who flies beneath them and catches them before they can be harmed. In the song, God is referred to as a male eagle,
but MALE EAGLES DO NOT DO THIS!
The quoted scripture is giving us a feminine reference on purpose :)
Contemplate honoring your mother this week by using feminine language when referring to God, or praying. See how your image of God is changed.
