The word "cherish" is the English word that is most closely translated in the original language of the Bible to express the following: "We were gentle among you like a mother caring (cherish) for her little children." (1Thes. 2:7)

The lamb is a beautiful symbol of a baby, a child, a young woman, one who has been abandoned, purity, and gentleness.

The lamb is used in the Bible to describe:

• the innocent and the helpless
• the recipient of tender love and protection from the Shepherd
• the one sent out into a dangerous world
• those who have gone astray
• God's people
• Jesus as The Lamb
• purity
• gentleness
• sacrificial love
• giving without complaint
• the confirming of an agreement

And interestingly, the lamb was the first image placed on coins in the Old Testament.
