God the Mother, the Heavenly Jerusalem

“But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.” (Galatians 4:26)

The first Bible study that my husband and I attended was about Jerusalem Mother. He accepted right away, but I was a little reticent at first. I had never heard about Mother God before, but I was open to listen, because I saw it in the Bible. I knew that some sects were of the belief that Mary is our mother, but that never resonated for me because I never saw it testified in the Bible that we should worship or sactify Mary.

I have never been one to hide anything from my children, so as we were driving home from the church, I asked them what they thought about God the Mother, or the idea that there is a female image of God. To my surprise, they both said that it made sense, because in our family they have a dad and mom, so why would we only have God the Father and not God the Mother. My son, who rarely voices his opinion, shared that he always thought that something was wrong with only calling God, Father. From that moment on, I felt that the Truth that I was seeking for my family was drawing near…

Now my family and I have been attending the World Mission Society Church of God for a few years, and take every opportunity to meet our Heavenly Family in Zion–where God Elohim dwells (Psalms 132:13-16, Psalms 133).
