An Unbreakable Love
Ephesians 3:19 (New Living Translation)
19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Until I became a Mother, I could never understand how my Grandmother continued to let her drug addicted son live at home. He had stolen from her, lied to her and allowed very dangerous people into her home, but still she was always there with open arms when he would come crawling back. My grandmother is still living this same cycle and my uncle is almost 50 years old.
My grandmother is one of the wisest women on Earth, but when it comes to her kids she has to put her education and pride to the side. A mother loves like the Lord loves us. It’s unbreakable no matter how many times we continue to screw up. No matter how many times we run away from home or lash out, He is always standing at the door with His arms open wide.
A woman brings a child into this world, but a mother nurtures. The birthing process doesn’t make or qualify a woman as a mother. It’s what’s done after the child is here. There are adoptive mothers, play mothers, step-mothers, and biological mothers all over the world whose love has been mistaken for weakness and taken for granted.
The strength of a Mother surpasses superman. The roar of a mother is louder than the lion. The fight in a Mother could take down Goliath with her bare hands. The tears of a Mother could flood an entire galaxy. The faith of a Mother can move mountains. The love of a Mother can change the world.
Now that I’m a mother, I understand how the bat of an eye can melt your heart. Or the words “Sorree Mommie”, can make the broken wine glasses seem so trival. God is like that. We can mess up so bad that He wants to unleash His wrath on us, but with one “Father I’m Sorry”, we can melt His heart. Now the twist is this………………it only works when it’s your child. So if you are unable to melt His heart, maybe He doesn’t consider you one of His……………
This weekend and everyday, honor the mothers (and single fathers), in your life. God has placed a special anointing on Mothers that could mold your entire destiny. Happy Mother’s Day.
