Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother

Who is the most devoted, love, and helping another person in the family?

It depends on each family situation, but most will answer 'mother'.

There are many forms of love, but the love of parents for their children is devoted, continuous, and unconditional.

The love that a mother gives to her child is directly linked to her child's life.

Thus, For a child, the love of a mother itself is life.

But in order to give this love to her child, the mother has to endure a lot of pain in many situations. 

Even they are threatened with their own lives in the process of childbirth.

So God taught to us that the first of the attributes of love is "patience."

1 Co 13:4-13

" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

…… faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. "

Why are mothers given such hard lives?

Every mother in the world has lived a life of no easy option, as a woman, as a mother, as a wife.

Ro 1:20

" For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. "

The mother's life in this earth is to show the life of the heavenly mother who sacrificed for our salvation.

Isa 59:1-2

" Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. "

Ro 6:23

" For the wages of sin is death "

We are spiritual condemned prisoners, and God has come to this earth to save us.

To us, sinners who do not repent, Mother smiled, loved, taught, prayed instead and gave us her life.

Gal 4:26 

" But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. "

In the Bible, the mother is recorded 'she is  free'. But she can't be free either because her children are not yet free from sin.

Our bodies are bound to death by sin, but our souls have gained eternal life and freedom through Passover. But we have yet to abandon the habit of sin, jeopardizing that freedom.

All we can do now for Heavenly mother is to submit to repentance and Heavenly mother's teachings.

Jas 1:25

" But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. "

The time when parents love their children the most is infant time, when baby depend on everything to their parent. 

Some parents say that they raise their children for the rest of their lives because of their lovely memories that time.

Let us also be children of God who obey, thank and rejoice in whatever Elohim God says.
