God the Mother, who came to this earth according to the prophecy, gives eternal life to Her children who repent and return to Her. The birth of life is a happy event, but mother’s pain is accompanied in the process. There is nothing more joyful than receiving eternal life. This joy, too, is followed by God the Mother’s pain and devotion. When we were little children, we did not know how much our mothers were making efforts for us. But when we grow up, we realize it and thank them. Likewise, mature heavenly children know God the love and sacrifice of Mother, and have faith good enough to give thanks and glory to Her.
