On our calendars is a date to celebrate mothers. It is to bring attention to women who have
had children. Correct? I don’t think so. There are many women who haven’t been
mothers, but they have the motherly instinct built in them. This comes from our creator. Maybe you know a woman who loves to do things
for people, but doesn’t have children of her own; perhaps a neighbor lady or a
“crazy aunt”. A mother (to me) means a
woman who loves taking care of others and puts their needs before hers. There are many mothers mentioned in the
Bible. Mary, the mother of Jesus, being
the most famous. She had a hard job even
though she had the perfect child. Mary
had to teach and train her son in what was right and wrong. The responsibility of raising children is an
enormous endeavor. Endeavor means to
work with a set purpose. We as mothers
have a set purpose in mind. As our children
are born, we start teaching and training from day one. We do our best to raise them as GOD instructs
us. We have a manual called the Bible to
teach us how. GOD gives us examples
throughout His word. Do not deviate from
His wisdom. We want our little blessings
to be saved and live for GOD. As women
of GOD we should seek out newborn babes in Christ to take them under our wing
and love and be a mentor to them. They
may not have had a loving mother as they were growing up. We, as mothers, when we had our first baby,
loved that child so much and probably thought we couldn’t love another one as
much as we loved the first one. But we
found out we have so much love for all of our children. GOD’s love is unending, and it is a good
thing because he has a lot of children.
When we come to GOD, we should have an unending supply of love. Sinners are usually saved when they feel the
love of GOD drawing on their heart. Let
us love people to GOD. By GOD’s love
they will know us, and by HIS mercy and grace and perfect love they can have
eternal life with Him.
Let us
make a new calendar and add “Love someone to Jesus” day and celebrate it 365
days a year.
