May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice! Proverbs 23:25I would like to honor my mother Mrs. Ruth Christina Maxwell and my mother in law Mrs. Caroline Ganta on Mother's day and let them know that their faith and prayers has borne fruit in my life and the lives of my siblings. May God bless them with wisdom and health so they will continue to be the wise women of our family! I know they rejoice seeing that my life has borne them reward!
My mother knew the power of the spoken word and God honored her each time she spoke her faith into existence! I saw it manifest in my own life whether it may be my near death experiences, my spiritual life or my emotional life, she just spoke God's purposes and God honored it. My mother seems to know everything I do. It is scary sometimes and I wonder if she has spies! God gives that intuition to mothers and it is so important that they are spiritually tuned to God so they hear, do and teach that which is right in sight of God.
Birthdays are very sentimental to me. I know everyday is a good day and God created each day so I would enjoy the beauty of it but birthdays are special for me. I think of the moment when my parents were willing to receive me as a gift and responsibility from God and were obedient to bring me into this world and nurture me till today! This is an awesome and the most important responsibility. My parents had to make a conscience decision to love me and make me part of their lives no matter what and who I am or would become. Their love is so unconditional. This bond between parents and children is unique and most often we forget the importance of it. Our parents demonstrate the Love of God to us.
God's love is unconditional. He loves us so much that he planned our existence, chose our parents and made provision for our future. We may choose to hate him, ignore him, be slow or fail to recognize the sacrifices He made and the love He showered on us but He still loves us. He said, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!" It is rare that a mother would forget her children unless she loses her senses with sickness like Dementia or Alzheimer or is addicted to alcohol or drugs! Hmm... think about God - I don't think he will ever lose his senses!
Another thing, we can never be our parents’ former child, we remain their children always! We may choose to break that bond, we may choose to hurt and ignore them but that doesn’t change our blood ties. Our choices and actions can either bring them joy or grief. It is the same with God – we can never be His former child, we are His children and our actions and choices can either make him rejoice or grieve over us!
My friends let us take this moment to see if your life is either bringing joy or grief to God and our parents especially your mom! More than anything your mom would like the gift of accomplishment and joy that she has done a god job raising the God given responsibility to her - YOU! Give her that honor today! May she who gave you birth rejoice!
Happy Mother's day to all mothers who have labored to raise natural and spiritual children! May God bless you and make you a mighty instrument to raise children who are Christ like!
