Lesson 12

Motherly Love

“There is no greater love than the love
of a mother for her children”. That is what I have
experienced and witnessed in the journey of life.
You can be loved by your friends, boyfriend or

girlfriend but their love can never be greater
than the love that your mother can give you. A
good example is, before you can gain friends
and before they would love and care for you,
you need to please them first, you need to fit
in and jive with them but after a great fight with
them, are you sure that the care and love that
they have given you would still be the same?
Well, some would, but most of the time, they
will no longer be there for you. However, with
your mother, whoever you are, whatever your

sin, your attitude, your character or your look is, the amount of love and
care they will give still be there. Every time you commit a mistake, at first,
they will be angry but in the long run they will still forgive you over and over
again. They will teach you the right thing to do and they will accept you for
who you are wholeheartedly.
