Honor Your Father And Your Mother

 

 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God”. Luke 1:30

We all have something in common. At one time we all had a mother. Mother’s Day can stir up all sorts of emotions. 

Probably the most famous mother is Mary, chosen by God to be the human mother of Jesus, a pretty special assignment. Of course there was not Mother’s Day in Bible times but I am sure Mary was honored in a special way. Mary is not God and is not to be worshipped like God but her role is still very important. 

Would you like to be favored by God or I should say find favor with God? You were born a specific gender either male or female for a specific purpose in life. Your mother may have been abusive, abandoned you or, if adopted,  you might wonder why your birth mother rejected you or gave you away. Regardless, moms out there, God has a reason you were created and born. He can restore you and redeem you. 

In the movie ‘Redeeming Love’ released 21 January 2022 after being completed in late 2019 the fictional story is told of a girl born to a prostitute and later sold to a brothel. It is set in California Gold Rush days in 1850. A Christian man who was a farmer is told by God to marry her and have unconditional love. It is quite a story, for adult audiences only. Anyway no matter where you came from from God can redeem you. Today if your mother is living call her, send flowers, or something. Now go enjoy Sunday and give thanks for the lady who helped bring you life. 

PRAYER: Motherhood is so special. Many trials and tests come along indifferent stages of raising children and many heartaches as well. Help those tortured by this day to let go and let God bring healing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
