I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. What a glorious time to celebrate our Mothers. God created Mothers as an expression and example of His love for us.
No one loves you like your Mother. She is always there for you. She kissed your boo-boos and made them better. She took you to school for the first time and watched you as you graduated. She held you when your heart was broken and, with only a Mother’s wisdom, told you that you would be ok.
She told you Bible stories and took you to church. She trained you in the way you should go.
I was very blessed with a wonderful Mother. She made such great sacrifices for me and my siblings. She made our Easter dresses and wedding dresses. She did this with a warm smile and never complained about her loss.
You could read this again and replace the name of Jesus in place of Mother. Jesus told us He would be with us and never forsake us. He is constantly by our side. He leads us and comforts us. He is the King of kings. And yet, He made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
Isaiah 53:7 “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth.”
My Mother is in heaven and that makes me smile. I miss her but I am so happy she is with her Lord and Savior. If your Mother is still with you, you are blessed indeed.
God, I thank you for my Mother and my Lord Jesus Christ. I don’t know where I would be without either of them.
