THERE ARE TIMES....
There are times only when a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all our fears.
There are times when only a Mother's Love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
There are times when only a Mother’s hope
Is the only hope we can see
And although we fail daily in our walk
She hopes for us eternally
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
We’re fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above...
I wanted to share a few thoughts with you today; I don’t feel that Mother’s day should be once a year, I think Mother’s day should be every day, don’t you agree?
Who do you think was the first person who knew you, besides our Heavenly Father? Some of you will say as I would that it would be our mothers, right? And here is my justification of why I would say that our mothers knew us so well....we were formed in her womb for:
9 months = 36 weeks =252 days = 6,048 hours = 362,880 minutes…..
So when you popped out of your mother, when you were ‘delivered’, is that when motherhood stopped or began???? Ironically we were 'delivered' into the world and for some of us it takes us a lifetime to get 'delivered' FROM the world, Hallelujah.
Actually, God knew you before you were even born…. Just as he shared with the prophet Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 1:5
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
God knew you, as he knew Jeremiah, long before you were born or even conceived. HE thought about you and planned for you. Remember Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future."
When you feel discouraged or inadequate, remember that God has always thought of you as valuable and that he has a purpose in mind for you. God appointed Jeremiah as a spokesperson to the world, we all have an assignment from God, and some people are assigned specific duties for the Lord.
Make it a point today to tell your mother 'I LOVE YOU', especially if you are so blessed to have her on earth with you still. Many of us have lost our mothers, and can only look to the heavens and whisper I love you mom. We only have ONE MOTHER, and it is by God's grace that we are blessed to call her MOM.
May the love of our Lord fill your heart and the peace that He can give you find your soul; be blessed not stressed, and may someone see the Love of Christ through your word or deed today my brothers and sisters. HALLELUJAH, we serve a Living God.
