In our present, fallen condition, the love we as mothers have for our children enables us to see more clearly into the window of our children’s souls, beholding their God-given glory more easily than other people are able to do.
The truth is, most of us fail to truly recognize the beauty in those around us. In a perfect world, untainted by sin and selfishness, we should look at everyone with the loving eyes a godly mother has for her child.
