Proverbs 31:28 “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we honor the invaluable role of mothers and the love they selflessly pour into their children. A mother’s love reflects the tender care and nurturing nature of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In Proverbs 31, we find a beautiful tribute to a virtuous woman, highlighting her wisdom, strength, and compassion.
Reflecting God’s Love
Mothers have the incredible ability to shape lives, imparting not only knowledge and guidance but also love and support. Mothers of faith open their mouths with wisdom, teach kindness, and offer comfort, just as our Heavenly Father does for us (Proverbs 31:26; Isaiah 66:13). A mother’s words and actions leave a lasting impact, fostering a foundation of faith and character in her children.
‘As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”’
Isaiah 66:13
Blessed and Praised
A mother’s sacrificial love is treasured and appreciated. As children, we rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also recognizes her worth and praises her. This acknowledgment brings joy and affirmation, reminding mothers of the profound influence they have in their families (Proverbs 31:28).
A Life of Good Works
Motherhood is a calling filled with various responsibilities. A godly mother exhibits good works, showing hospitality, caring for the afflicted, and devoting herself to every good work (1 Timothy 5:10). Through her love and selflessness, she sets an example for her children to follow.
Celebrating Mothers
On this special day, let us celebrate and honor mothers for their unwavering love, dedication, and nurturing spirit. May we express our gratitude for their guidance, sacrifice, and the countless prayers offered on our behalf.
Remember, mothers, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your role in shaping lives and pointing your children to God is immeasurable. Your love reflects the heart of our Heavenly Father. May you be encouraged and blessed today and always.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of mothers. We honor and appreciate their love, sacrifices, and guidance. Bless them abundantly and strengthen them in their important role. May they find joy, fulfillment, and wisdom as they reflect your love in their families. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Happy Mother’s Day!
