A Prayer to Encourage Disheartened Mothers By Lynette Kittle "As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem" - Isaiah 66:13 Like all moms, mine wasn't perfect, but she loved God, she loved me, and she did the best she could while working through her own upbringing, marriage, life challenges, and growing as a person herself. My heart is grateful for the wonderful qualities she modeled for me and forgiving of her weaknesses. The more God transforms my heart and mind, the more I appreciate her efforts on my behalf, especially seeing her live out her faith in Jesus throughout her life, and her generous outreach with the love of God, to those around her. Even as an adult, whenever I am ill, no other person's comfort comes close to the comfort my Mom gave me as a child. It seems God gives mothers a divine-like type of comfort that only they can offer their children. Over time, my love and compassion for my mom have only deepened. |
