Perhaps you are sitting on your rocking chair and nursing your baby as you read this post. What a powerful work you are doing. You are not only nurturing and comforting your baby, you are not only preserving your own body, but you are revealing the character of God. What could be more beautiful and powerful?
We see God’s nurturing heart in Isaiah 49:15: “Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion (wombness) on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” This powerful anointing of protection, love, and nurturing that pours from you while you nurse your baby comes from God. Only God’s anointing is even stronger. A mother may forget, but God will never.
We see the same character in Jesus when He cried over Jerusalem: “How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” (Matthew 23:37).
Rejoice that you have the privilege of revealing God’s character in your home and to the world
