A Mother's Love....Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to take this time to wish every mother that is reading this a Happy Mother's Day! Mother's are very special people. God gave them such an ability to love, care, and protect her family that no man can ever understand. I'm not saying men don't love, care, and protect their family, but there is a difference between the two. I am often reminded when I see the difference between my husband and I, that God created us in His own image. That means that when God created men and women and then every individual that He gave us a glimpse of another part of Him. God's love for us is so huge that even a mother cannot understand, just as a man cannot understand a woman's love for her children. We often think that He has forgotten us or doesn't care for us anymore, but the opposite is true. He loved us so much that He gives us breath each day, He protects us from things every day that we don't even realize, He gave His life for us in order for us to have life. Does that not sound a little bit like a mother's love for her children? We too protect our children from things that they don't realize, we brought them into the world and gave them breath, and most of us would lay our life down for our children. So, next time you start feeling alone and God has left you....remember that you wouldn't leave your child and He surely is not going to leave you. You may say, "Well, God is being mean and I don't understand what is going on in life right now except that everything is going wrong." Is that how you treat your children? No. When you have to punish by taking something away from your child, not letting them have their way, you are doing it for their good even though they don't see it that way right now. Remember, if you are God's child...He is doing what is for your good and growing you and showing His love to you. There is no safer place on earth than a mother's arms and there is absolutely no safer place to ever be than in God's arms. Are you in God's arms, resting in Him? If not, you should ask Him to come into your life. He is there and waiting. Please feel free to send me a comment telling me you would like to know more about asking God into your life and I will not post it if you don't want me too, but will be happy to share with you and talk to you about this.
So, as you celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, thank your Mom for all she has done for you and be reminded of God's love as you look and think of her.
