Having the privilege of being a mother not only consist of birthing from your physical body but being able to birth even when you have no children of your own. To be able to console, love, teach, discipline, encourage, release, and deliver to another in which you have birthed in a different way. Being a mother is not because we have done something special but was used as yielded vessels unto the Lord. It is the parenting knowledge of wisdom and understanding in releasing the vital importance of decision making in one’s life. Not only have we become thankful, but grateful in the fullness of what God has done in our lives. How he has showed us to persevere in being that mother whether in the flesh or by the Spirit.
Not understanding all, but in hope and faith we believe that the Holy Spirit our guidance will lead the steps of instruction, wisdom, power, authority, and strength. Knowing that He is always in the mist according to His word. Knowing that during the rebellion state of your child you can believe that this too shall pass. Knowing that He in Heaven is working in and through all of us every second and that He will continue to teach us daily. Is He finished? Of course not For the Father is just getting started on us. He still continues to mold daily. Touching all concerns, not leaving anything undone, incomplete or unfinished.
But we as children of Him must believe and trust His chastisement, His word, His Truth in all things. Even though we are celebrated nationally one day a year. The Father celebrates us daily for birthing that in which he loves for us all “come unto Him as little children”. Giving all agony, pain, stress, oppression, depression, worrying etc… to Him. For He knows and understand that raising a child by yourself is not and was not easy, Mentoring a problem child is not and was not easy, Losing a child was not and is not easy. Remember your crying days of not being able to take it, release it, deal with it, some of us are still there. However, joy comes in the morning for us all. What joy having a Father who cares about us in such a profound way. Sealing us in His arms of raising. Mothers oh, yes we are that. For this was established and ordained before we were born. So when you have come to the point of shutting down, know that you were chosen to be a MOTHER.
FOR IT WAS NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER, BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD.
For He is thankful for all that we do. Most of all it is the releasing of LOVE which covers all multitudes of sins.
For God is love.
