Motherhood With A Promise

By: Sharon Fernandez

​"Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness." Proverbs 31:25-26

From the time you conceive till you deliver, as the child grows up into a fine young adult, the Lord has bestowed an amazing strength to your body and mind, dear Mothers. The confidence you have comes from the Lord. It is He who takes you through all the long sleepless nights. As the child grows, you be filled with wisdom to understand and know just what to do for your child in all the different stages of life. With such grace and kindness, you will teach your offspring the goodness of God by living it out. You shall raise them in the way (Jesus) they should pursue; they shall never depart from it when they grow old. 

The reason why you will be able to laugh at the days to come, cause each day is made by the Lord, its crowned with His goodness and grace. As you raise every morning, you enter into the time of worship; in the stillness, you receive the promises of the day. This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Despite the chaos that can take place in the house, never start your day without spending this precious moment even if it were to be just 5 – 10 mins, dear mothers. Truly, it makes a lot of difference, even when you don't have any words to say. Your tears are liquid prayers you offer up to Jesus. He has a bottle collecting all your tears to reward you for all the sacrifices you make to raise this child of God for His glory. 

​Psalm 54:4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

Being a mother is not an easy feat. It takes a community to raise a child. Not all of us have such a privilege. You may be all by yourself with a newborn baby in your hand, having no place to stay, no one to ask for help. You may find yourself in a very terrible predicament due to wrong choices made in the past, but you still got this little fight inside of you to want to turn things around for the sake of your child. You want to turn over a new life and start afresh.

Dear beloved, if this is you. I got good news to tell you. If you are reading this, it is not by chance; it's not coincident, it is because God wants you to know He is your help! He wants to sustain you. Will you call out to Jesus?! And Believe in Him?! The Lord is full of compassion, and He loves you very much. You are worth to die for, my dear sister. This child is your comfort. Don't feel you are alone, and you are not going to be a good mother. You will be just fine. With the right help, you receive, you and your child are going to live such a blessed life. 

​I would like to pray for you, dear one. Find the recording attached to this blog. 
​
May the Sweet Presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ come and surround you like a soft blanket. May His healing hands heal your wounds inside out and renew your mind, body, and soul.

Seek ye First His kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). This promise never fails. 

​Shalom to one and all. God bless you dear Mothers! ​​​
