Every reference to God in the Bible utilizes masculine language. Every pronoun for God is masculine. Every mention of God in regards to His relationship with His children involves a reference to Him as Father. God is deliberately and consistently identified with masculine terminology. So, it may be hard for woman in general and mothers in particular to believe that God can relate to them. But the Bible indicates that God uniquely understands and appreciates mothers, and, therefore, His expectations of mothers should be understood and appreciated all the more.
