Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there who are natural mothers or even spiritual mothers! There is nothing more comforting to a troubled, human soul than the nurturing love of a mother. A mother is one who will love you unconditionally, regardless of what you've said or done, who sees your potential when others say you can't succeed, and who longs to rescue you when she sees a little of herself in your weaknesses. Even when our babies grow up, we never stop being a mother, and our children never stop needing a mother's love, regardless of their age. Even though independence from us is crucial, we  mothers can never for one moment assume our job is ever done - because it isn't!

For those of you who never experienced this kind of love or who have not had the opportunity to love another person in this way, know that the love of Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father is available to you. Actually, it is greater and exceedingly stronger than any love from a natural parent. Regardless of our past rejections from those who were supposed to love us, there is always One who is faithful to love us unconditionally, no matter what the circumstances are. That's a greater comfort than the natural, human love of a mother. It is a love that heals, empowers, strengthens, and rejuvenates!  It's a love that exceeds on into eternity! Praise God for that!

Have a happy day!
