The mother love tactic

Tired. A hard day has befallen you and theres no bodybuilder in the world that could hold the enormous weights that are your eyelids. You know your at home and at one point you were sitting on the couch watching TV, but suddenly you open your eyes again and magic exists in our world! You are under the covers of your bed and there are thick rays of sunlight pouring into your window.
What does this mean?! Can I teleport, but only through an unconscious cognitive state? Are there others like me? I wonder if there's a school for gifted creatures such as myself to hone this ability.

Of course we all know this isn't true. People don't teleport (at least as far as I know). So at what point did I miss something....
Deep into the night, around 930, the hero strolls in unbeknownst to the world--Mom. She notices her child has been punched in the face by fatigue and has taken to hard slumber in his recourse. She goes in to swoop me up into her tender arms then oh so carefully takes me to the city of forgotten cares. The journey is arduous, requiring more than a minimal amount of physical and emotion energy but she pushes through with the sheer determination unseen by the still comatose child. Making her trip swiftly and effectively, she lays me down onto the cloud of relief and joy that is my bed and gently tucks me in. To end it all she whispers a quick prayer and leaves with a gentle kiss to my forehead.

A mother will go to enormous lengths to show her child love, even when he can't see it. In the same way, our Father shows us His love in everything we see and do, even when we don't realize he has a hand in it. Quite simply, "God is love," as it says in 1 John 4:8. Imagine how much our mother loves us (yes, it is A LOT) now imagine if she had to sacrifice as much as God did to show His love for us. "but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us," Romans 5:8. He sacrificed His ONLY son to prove his love to us, we surely don't deserve that--not then and not now. We sin every day, we lead dirty lives full of lies, deceit, regret, pain and suffering but when its all said and done, God will always take us back to our room and tuck us in with a kiss to the forehead. "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work," 2 Corinthians 9:8. We have everything we need in Christ, He is bigger than any problem we could face. That's awesome and we should take refuge in this! I'll leave you with this verse on Gods awesome power. Until next time, you stay classy world.
Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
