Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him
whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.

Yay, Laura! Thank you so much for taking the real Mother’s Day theme (as originally intended) and tying it to the Gospel. I am heartened that there are women, such as yourself, who take the time to break out of this world’s packaging of the truth, and return to the simple message of the Gospel Truth and share it with others. Blessings…
