The Great Divorce (a book you should read)
motherly love

a hidden idol

In that heavenly place, Lewis heard a woman talking to a Solid Person. She wanted her son. She said that no one had the right to come in between her and her son, not even God. I guess that means that her son was an idol. Although it is hard to accept it, even your own family can become idols. There was a woman (who was a prisoner because she was a Christian) who thought it would be best for her daughter if she renounced  her faith in Christ. But when she did, and the two of them were going home, her daughter told her that Jesus was not happy with her. The mother and her daughter went back to the jail... In the begining, the woman put her daughter before God. That is making an idol of her daughter. You see? Moral: Don't let your family become more inportaint than your faith in Christ.
