My journey into motherhood has been nothing short of transformative, revealing a depth of love and connection I hadn’t previously imagined. Before becoming a mother, I struggled to believe in a higher power that could truly love us as much as some claim. I couldn’t fathom such a boundless love. But experiencing motherhood changed everything for me.
Pregnancy was a challenging and solitary experience. I spent countless days cradling my growing belly, praying for the health of the baby I couldn’t see. My fears were overwhelming, and the journey brought me incredibly close to God. There were times when I’d go days without feeling my baby move, and that uncertainty consumed me. I had to learn patience—though I’m not sure I ever fully mastered it, as I frequently rushed to the hospital just to hear that everything was fine. My baby was simply resting, only to be disturbed by my anxious calls and the ultrasounds that sought to reassure a worried mother.
Through this intense experience, I gained a profound insight into divine love. I began to understand that the love I have for my child mirrors, in some way, the love that God has for us. Just as I would love and care for my child no matter how many times he wakes me up at night, I started to grasp that a perfect, divine being would have an even more profound love for me. This realization gave me a new sense of peace and meditation.
Motherhood immersed me in a parallel reality—a new existence centered entirely around being a mother. It became the essence of my being, surpassing any other reality or possibility. This deep, unconditional love I felt for my child made me realize that if a mere human can experience such a profound affection, then surely a perfect divine entity must possess an even more extraordinary and boundless love.
Understanding this divine love has been a meditation in itself, providing a new perspective on what it means to be loved and to love. It’s a realization that enriches my sense of connection to something greater and more wonderful than I ever thought possible.
