A renowned American columnist wrote an article about the powerful traits of successful leaders during World War II. The research on the traits of those who rose to the position of officers in the military reported that there was a distinguishing quality that was more helpful to their promotion than their physical strength or resourcefulness. It was their relationship with their mothers. Those who had received love and care from their mothers and maintained good relationships with them could become officers and they took care of their subordinates with sincerity, not losing humanity even in times of brutal wars.
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” (Isa 49:15–16)
Heavenly Mother has engraved our names on Her palms and loves us infinitely without forgetting us even for a second. Who on earth can receive greater love and care than this and maintain the best relationship with Mother? Mother’s love motivates us to deliver sincere love to the world; it is more than enough to qualify us to be spiritually successful. It is said that those who’ve received love are responsible for sharing the love with others. Let’s take our responsibility for love. That is the secret to success in our life of faith.
