I declare from this pulpit what has been said
here before: that no love in mortality comes
closer to approximating the pure love of
Jesus Christ than the selfless love a
devoted mother has for her child.
When Isaiah, speaking messianically,
wanted to convey Jehovah’s love,
he invoked the image of a mother’s
devotion. “Can a woman forget her
sucking child?” he asks. How absurd,
he implies, though not as absurd as
thinking Christ will ever forget us. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Behold Thy Mother, Oct 2015
