From David Jeremiah's Walking With Jesus devotional: A MOTHER'S LOVE
"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you." Isaiah 66:13
"Mother's Day is a time to love our mothers. We honor their memory if they're in heaven, and we hug their necks if they're still on earth. If we can't be with them, we call them. But not everyone has good memories of a loving mother, and for some childless women, this can be a sad day. God is our Heavenly Father. He's never called our 'heavenly mother.' But some passages do speak of Him as having the qualities we need from a mother. In Isaiah 49, the people felt God had forgotten them. But the Lord said, 'Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands' (verses 15-16). Our Lord loves us more than even a mother can love her child. He comforts us.
Our mothers aren't perfect, but how wonderful to honor them, love them, and rejoice in the grace God has given them. If your relationship with your mother is less than ideal, rest yourself in God's love and comfort. He will never forget you. You are truly inscribed on the palms of His hands!"
Selah
