When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 2 Timothy 1:5 (NKJV)
A godly mother is a treasure that far exceeds choice jewels and fine gold. Her worth is priceless, her lessons timeless, and her prayers move mountains. Godly mothers work long and hard, while underappreciated. They go on day by day doing what needs to be done; juggling tasks and children like no other. Their prayers, their encouragement, and their loving scolding help us make it through this hectic life, be successful, and find true life in Jesus Christ.
Godly mothers are always there to comfort their children when life is too much; whether from a skinned knee or a failed marriage, mom is always there. Lifting her children up fervently in prayer to the God in whom she puts her unmovable faith. She Weeps when she cannot console them, and picks them up (kicking them up if she must) out of the realm of despair, while always reminding them of God’s great love and plans for them.
A godly mother’s love reflects the unconditional love of the Heavenly Father. She would soon lay down her life for her children then see them go through deep pain and despair. She goes through great lengths to assure they have every opportunity to succeed in life and be happy. More then anything she prays, hopes and directs her children toward a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
I pray today, on this celebration of Mothers’ day that you can reflect and appreciate the love of a godly mother. Let her know how much you appreciate all the sacrifices she has made for you, and all the prayers she has prayed.
Thank you mom, I love you!
There is no greater gift you can give a godly mother on mothers’ day than news that you have accepted a relationship with Jesus Christ!
