I view a mother’s love as being the most important contribution to pure love on this planet outside the manifestation of God’s love. For me, a mother’s love and that of a caring-loving teacher are the preeminent positions of all. Yet, they are paid the least. They do more to distribute the pure love of Christ in this world regardless of their religion. A mother’s “Pure Love” for her offspring is like the pure love of God.

The impact of caring-loving teachers in my life is enormous. My mother and grandmothers were great role models of God’s pure love in my life. My wife’s pure love for our children is a great blessing in my life.

A Unique Gift

I learned from Ralph Jensen’s near-death experience (NDE) that our intelligences have gender Our intelligences are eternal. The female intelligence has this unique gift of pure love for each of her offspring. Heavenly Mother has infinite and perfect love for all of Heavenly Father’s children. God’s pure-perfect and infinite love is the passion for God’s marvelous creations and for each of us. This is why God is always there as we reach out to God in prayer. Because of God’s perfect and infinite love for us, He answers every sincere prayer in the timeframe that is best for us.

The Bible’s Portrayal of a Mother’s Transcendent Love

Some men were discussing which translation of the Bible was best. One of them said, “I like my mother’s translation the best. She translated it into life!” We set aside the second Sunday in May to celebrate “Mother’s Day.” I believe this should be a year around opportunity. I hope and pray that we will have deep-loving appreciation to all mothers—especially including our own mothers and on both sides of the veil.

In the movie, A Man Called Peter, based on the book written by his wife, Catherine Wood Marshall, she shares a beautiful message. Catherine paints a picture of how Peter shared in a sermon that Christ elevates women above men in their most important role in life. It is fascinating that in apocryphal literature we read that the resurrected Lord first appeared to His mother, Mary. Can you imagine the trauma Mary went through because of what her Son, our Savior, went through as He was falsely accused, tried, and crucified?

We read in the gospel of Joseph of Arimathea transliterated from Old English by Dezert-Owl; fortunately, I have become friends with him. This gospel describes Mary’s anguish: “SHE STOOD OUT-SIDE Ov TOMB, CRYING BITTERLY (25:74).” Thinking Him dead, she didn’t recognize Him, as He appeared before her, “DRESSED in A BRYGHT-WHITE ROBE Ov LYGHT (25:110).” He asked her, “Why Are YOU BURSTING-OUT In TEARZ Ov A-Fection [over an] “Empty-Tomb (25:112).” “I [have] RELEASED All Ov Thoze Who Were [in the Spirit-world] Who ARE WORTHY [all the way back to Adam and Eve] (25:158).” “THEN SHE ROZE-UP, AN SHE GAVE HYM A GREAT EMBRACE (25:163).” “Then THE VIRGIN-MOTHER Looked Be-Hind HYM, An She Saw The GREAT-NUMBERZ THAT HE HAD TAKEN-UP, Out-From The Grave, ALL DRESSED-UP, IN THEIR PURE-WHITE ROBEZ (25:167).” He told her, “I Am Now PRESENTING Them Az THE GREAT-OFFERING BeFore… Father Az I DELIVER Them To PARADISE (25:166).” Mary’s heart was overwhelmed with joy when she realized what her Son had accomplished. Yet, she saw only a touch of His infinite atonement.

Mary Magdalene, His wife, saw Him immediately after. She went from the depts of despair to the heights of ecstasy when He called her name, “Mary (John 20:16).” In some translations, she also embraced the Lord.

Givers of Life

Ralph Jensen, a dear friend, in his NDE, was taught by Christ. He wrote a book by that title. In it he shares that when the Lord showed him the events in the Garden of Eden, everything was in awe as Eve entered the Garden—”the mother of all living.” In another blog article, I share much more of what the Lord taught Ralph. Ralph points out why Satan hates women so much. They are the “givers of life.” Satan is about depopulation and abortion—to destroy life. Righteous mothers are the great givers of life. Let us do everything we can to honor them in that most sacred role.

Our Mortal Birth is a Grand Opportunity to Learn TRUTH

It is fascinating that Heavenly Father needed the virgin Mary to give birth to His Son–the Son of God (Luke 1:35). For God so loved the world that He did so, and Mary was the virtuous channel. This opened the door for the Savior to give the world His perfect life, and teachings, and the most important gift of His infinite atonement. He is the way and the truth and the life (John 14:6). It is Christ who opens the door for us to partake of the greatest gift of God—eternal life (D&C 14:7). As we come unto Christ, He provides the opportunity for the greatest joy in this life (John 10:10) and a fullness of joy in the world to come (Ps. 16:10; D&C 93:33-34). His path is the path to LIGHT and TRUTH (D&C 84:45).

Further, the Savior profoundly said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).” And “If the Son therefore shall make you free ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).” “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12).”

The Will of the Father in the Midst of the Challenges

Doing the will of the Father, Mary gave birth to her Son, the Son of God, in the most-humble of circumstances (Luke 2). Jesus’ life, teachings, and infinite atonement perfected Heavenly Father’s perfect plan of happiness. As we think about Jesus’ incomprehensible contributions, we need to look back to the pre-mortal epoch. Then, under the direction of the Father, He created the heavens and the earth for us to live on. We cannot offer sufficient praise for all He has done, is doing, and will be doing in helping Father “bring to pass the immortality and eternal life [of all of us] (Moses 1:39).”

In the midst of all the challenges of life, we cannot imagine a better plan. It is these challenges that give us the opportunity to grow and to learn from them. As we look to Him in every thought—life becomes a grand experience to grow in TRUTH and LIGHT (D&C 84:45). He is the way and the truth and the life, and Mary gave Him birth to do the will of the Father perfectly because of His and Heavenly Mother’s infinite love for us.

We cannot comprehend God’s incomprehensible and infinite love for each of us. A mother’s transcendent love for each of her offspring is type and shadow of this pure-love of God.

I extend my love to you and yours and to all you wonderful mothers.
