“Following Jesus and Loving People”
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers and Spiritual Mothers!
Abraham Lincoln once said, “I remember my mother’s prayers, and they have always followed me, they have clung to me all my life.”
As I reflect on today being Mother’s Day, I am reminded of my own mother, who is the definition of a godly, selfless woman and mother. As I look over my life, I am reminded that I would not be who I am and be in the place of ministry that I am today, if it had not been for my mother and the example that she laid before me. My brothers, sisters, and I always knew that mom was praying for us whether it was because we had an earache, had a broken heart, were taking a big test, were working an overnight shift and had to drive home on snowy roads, or were flying across the ocean to an unknown land.
I am so thankful that God allowed me the honor of being raised by a God-fearing mother. We did not have excess growing up, but the one thing that we did have was the love, discipline, and teaching from a godly mother. My mother has always been a woman who was not afraid to let us know that she was praying for and supporting us, who showed through action what it meant to live unselfishly, and who would point us to Jesus at the most pivotal points of our lives. Because of her example, perseverance, prayers, tears, and hard work her children not only know Jesus, but are serving him today.
So I challenge you, what legacy are you leaving behind for your children? What are the things for which you will be remembered? Will you be remembered for wanting to have a clean house or for the time you took to make memories with your children and point them to Jesus? There is nothing greater that my mother could have given me than a rich heritage in Jesus, and there is nothing greater that you can give your child/children than giving them Jesus and being a godly example.
I want to leave you with this verse from Proverbs 31
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised..
