MOTHER GOD

A MEDITATION ON THE MOTHERLY NATURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD. While I understand the controversial nature of that statement, I must confess I can only testify to what I have experienced. Rich Mullins once said he didn't have a problem with how the Catholics revere Mary. What bothered him was how humans fail to revere one another. The Holy Spirit has appeared to me in multiple dreams as a woman. In every dream I encounter a woman who is so familiar to me that I at first mistake her for my mother. But as I interact with her, I become aware that she is while familiar, not my mother. In the first dream I was given: a book was shown to me. The book had multiple events from my life that I am very ashamed of. In this heavenly book, these events were transformed into priceless works of art (in dreams you often have knowledge and understanding imparted to you by God). After I had viewed the entire book, this woman closed the book and looked at me and said, "Brittany, We are so proud of you. We can't wait to see what you will do with the rest of your life." For three days I was in a state of supernatural ecstasy. The dream imparted a supernatural knowledge of the pleasure of God in my existence. Even in my wandering and shortcomings, God has remained madly in love with me. Though the rapture of that supernatural visitation has completely faded, and I can scarcely remember the pleasure of it, this visitation has marked my life. God loves you and me with an unconditional and cherishing love. God is intimately familiar with every aspect of our lives, and treasures every memory of us in His heart. The closest understanding we might have to that is the love of a mother.
