Mothers have an enduring impact on our lives. The role of “mother” encompasses much more than just biological ties. Her commitment is above reproach, and her dedication spans generations. It embodies unconditional love, tender loving care, and endearing faithfulness. Like our Savior, Jesus, a mother goes to great lengths to minister to our needs. I love my daughter so much that I will risk my life to save hers.
Like the dew in the morning, your day begins while the world is still sleeping. Some may even be dreaming. To this day, I still feel the impression of my mother and Big Mama. That relationship is defined by unwavering endurance, unending support, and selfless sacrifices. They poured into my life the godly principles that made me into the woman of God I am today.
We have a connection with our children and families that outlasts disappointments, unexpected actions, and challenging circumstances. Besides, we don’t always agree on everything, However, we are resilient and pull together when we need each other the most. This is who mothers are, who God created us to be. So, I pray these scriptures will encourage your heart and fill you with delight. Embrace your mothers today and wrap them in love.
I pray the the song, What Will Be Your Legacy by Wilburn Dean, stirs your heart while you focus on leaving behind a legacy for your children.
Happy Impactful Mother’s Day!
