Love like a Mother Quotes

“Maybe God is groaning in maternal anticipation too. We can picture a third-trimester God, a God who counts every kick and every hour, dreaming of the day he can welcome us home. This God who waits is the God of wombs, and with each and every day that we carry a baby inside of us, we can better know this God who, like a mother, surrounds us with love and longs to someday hold us in his arms.”
― Elizabeth Berget, Love like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God

“What I know now is that God, like a mother, unceasingly cares for us. What I know now is that I am a limited being who was never meant to hold it all together, and that within the pounding cyclone of pressure and stress that is mothering, God is right there in the middle of everything, holding me together.”
