Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. But we should acknowledge that Mother's Day can be a tough day for many.
Some of you have lost your mother. Take comfort in God, our heavenly Father. The Bible says that God watches over His people like a hen who protects her chicks under her wings. If you are in Christ and your mother was in Christ, then you shall see her again.
Some mothers have lost children (some by miscarriages or abortion). God has mercy on children and I do believe you shall see your child one day in eternity. And even if you have aborted a baby, there is forgiveness in Christ. Christ can remove your shame and guilt.
1 John 1:9 (ESV): If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There is no condemnation for those in Christ!
There are some women who desire to have children but it has not happened yet. Trust in the sovereignty of God and know that your self-worth and identity is not in motherhood but it is in Jesus Christ.
For all you mothers who feel like you don't measure up, you don't have to be perfect, Christ was perfect for you.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV): For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Relax, be free in Christ, and enjoy being a daughter of the Most High God.
