Ephesians 6:1-3 (NIV)
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is
right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a
promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on
the earth.”
God created families and gave mothers a unique place in
that unit. We can love, give of ourselves, cook, clean, wash clothes, put
Band-Aids on scrapes … be the first one up in the morning or the last one down
at night. We juggle a lot of things including raising children, working at
jobs, managing a home, and sometimes finding time for ourselves.
Each day is a new beginning of what lies before us. We
have destiny, purpose, and the power to do and be all that we are called to be.
Nothing can stop us except ourselves. As mothers, we need to find the strength
to face each day knowing that God loves us.
This scripture seems to be written just for mothers.
“If you have any encouragement from being united with
Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded,
having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of
selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than
yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to
the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4
Our children need that unselfish love of a mother. We as adults
and parents need to love our mothers too. Long life is promised to all who show
honor to them.
“Children, obey your parents because you belong to the
Lord, for this is the right thing to do. "Honor your father and
mother." This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your
father and mother, "things will go well for you, and you will have a long
life on the earth." Ephesians 6:1-3
Mothers make up a crucial part of our lives. So whether
it is a Hallmark card, dinner out, hug, or a kiss on the cheek, we should show
we care. It is so important to give our love to these dedicated women in our
lives and don’t take them for granted.
Dear Lord, thank you for our moms. We pray for a special
blessing on each of them today. Help us
to always take the time to show them that we love them and are thankful for
what they do for us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
