“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you” (Isaiah 66:13)
Only God is the true remedy and comfort to the great sorrow of human beings. We all believe in God seeking His mercy during hardships we endure in everyday life, descending into hopelessness, whilst life makes no sense; frequently, left high and dry, without a shoulder to cry on, in tortured life while soul is eternally condemned.

There are many layers of meaning, and depending on the level of our emptiness, that is, our openness and willingness, we receive what we at any given time are capable of receiving.
