A Mother Like God: The God of All Comfort
May 10, 2026 • Mike Osthimer
Isaiah 66:13 “I will comfort you there in
Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child.”
All that to say, there is something very special about
a mother's love, and especially her comfort.
“The same deep, instinctive comfort we feel from a
godly mother is actually a window into the tender
heart of God.”
Regardless of whether you had a mom who
comforted you, scripture reveals to us God as the
ultimate Comforter, with mothers as some of His
clearest living illustrations.
When children look back over their lives, the
overwhelming majority look to their moms for
comfort more than their fathers. I believe that is by
God’s design.
