Dearest Mothers
You are so loved and blessed
By God
He created each of you unique
With infinite wisdom and care
Remember
That God believes in you
So believe in yourselves
And strive to be all
That He created you to be
God wants you to know
That the love you have so freely given to your children
He gives back to you in full measure
And just as you nurture and nourish your children
With love and understanding
God nurtures you
Just as your children thrive in the light
Of your guidance and faith
God wants you to thrive
In the light of His Love and Grace
Remember Mother
That wherever you go
Holding on to your precious child’s hand
That you are God’s Beloved Child too
God is always beside you
He is walking behind you
And He is going before you
Holding your hand
Wherever you go
He promises never to leave or forsake you
And never to let you go
He asks you to do your best
But never alone
He wants you to leave your cares in His Hands
As you teach your children
To trust the all-seeing God
In every area of their lives
Remember that His Eyes are upon you
As your eyes are upon your children
God promises to give you deep insight and wisdom
To nurture your child according to their God-given nature
To lovingly and gently guide your child
In the ways that he or she should go
And when they are old they will not depart
From Him
Because they will remember they are God’s Child
We are to raise our children so they no longer need us
But only need God
This is love
God is love
God wants you to establish your roots
Deeply in His Word
He wants you to listen to His Voice
So you may hear
His echo deep within your heart
God is your comfort and your joy
He gives you peace to weather all the storms of life
He gives you great freedom
To be all that He created you to be
He wants you to walk in newness of life
In fullness and wholeness
When you need direction
Seek God’s Face
Draw near to Him
And He will draw near to you
God knows that you find yourself
In losing yourself in the lives of your children
And others along the way
Through His power and might
He waits patiently
Knows and fulfills your every need
When things sometimes seem broken
He wants you to remember
That faith in Him
Will mend and put them back together again
God is weaving the tapestry of your life
Into beautiful colors for eternity
Your life is a quiet work of dignity and purpose
Remember that His Love for you never fails
No matter your pain, grief or heartaches
You are emerging to become
God’s person of beauty and grace
It has been said that a Mother’s love
Reflects God’s unconditional love
More closely than anyone else
Mothers teach your children
To stand steadfast with great faith to the end
Remember that what may seem to you or to them
The collapse of your world around you
That it may just be an exciting new beginning
Mothers teach your children
To color outside the lines
To not limit God
And not limit themselves
The unique, special individual He created them to be
So they will find their Divine Destiny
In Him
Teach your children
That God wants to speak to them
In dreams and visions
He places the desires within them
To follow their hearts and dreams
Encourage them to go and be
What He wants them to be
I always told my children
That God gave them to me as gifts
To live up to His expectations,
Not mine
Sing lullabies to your children
And also encourage them to listen
For the songs God puts into their hearts
Each child has their own unique song
And only they can sing it
Encourage them to sing with exaltation and great joy
And praise God
Throughout all circumstances
Because this releases
The supernatural power of God’s Holy Spirit
To work on their behalf
He promises to give strength and wisdom
To live for Him each day
Teach them to discover and open God’s great gifts for them
But tell them to receive them
They must first open their hearts to God
Teach them the importance of prayer
And to pray without ceasing
Strengthen their little roots
In the Truth and Spirit of God’s Holy Word
Encourage them to walk through God’s Open Doors
With confidence, courage and faith
Teach them to stand firm
In the knowledge of God’s love
Teach them that God is their eternal light
And that Jesus loves them with an eternal love
And gives them salvation
Also teach them at an early age
That Jesus also wants to be Lord of their lives
And that God’s Holy Spirit
Will empower, encourage and equip them
To fulfill their divine purpose
Teach them that God will give them divine direction
But the specifics and joys of their life’s journey
Depend upon them and the wise choices they make
Tell them that God wants to make
Something wonderful of their lives
Encourage them to always speak the truth in love
And to place their trust in God
Teach them that the challenges in life
Are faith builders
Teach them to let their walk
Be consistent with their talk
Teach them the real truth in God’s Word for
‘Happily ever after’
Instead of reading them fairy tales
Teach them that their
ONE TRUE HERO IS
JESUS
And that their true identity is in Christ Jesus alone
Who gives abundant everlasting life
Or in their hunger and thirst
To find themselves
They will turn to the world’s false beliefs
Satan’s deceitful lies, counterfeit heroes
and New Age and the Occult
Encourage your children’s God given talents
Help them at a young tender age to discover and develop
The spiritual gifts God gives to them
And especially do not stifle or discourage
Their creative gifts of imagination
Encourage them to express themselves
As little children they know that God speaks to them
And they hear Him
And Mothers listen to your children
Truly listen
Listen with your heart
To their hearts
Heart to heart
Spirit to spirit
And Holy Spirit will give you
Words of wisdom, knowledge, understanding
Counsel and might
To speak to them
Remember also
That we can learn much from our children
Dear Mothers
Remember that all children
Need lots of Hugs, Kisses and Laughter
Nurture their hearts Mother
Help to shape their minds
So they will know and be assured
That they may have the mind of Christ
For it is He
Who gives us a renewed heart, mind and spirit
Impart faith by your example
Give them encouragement
Celebrate, treasure and cherish
All the wonderful moments with them
Remember that they grow up so fast
So build vivid memories with them
That will last a lifetime
Help to cultivate faith, goodness, knowledge,
Self-control, perseverance, godliness,
Brotherly kindness and love in your children
In doing so they will seldom stumble along life’s way
But also assure them that when they stumble
And they will
That it is okay
Encourage them to pick themselves up
And start all over again
That you and God understand
Believe in your children
Affirm their inherent value
Give them true acceptance
Assurance and hope for their future
Inspire them to try new things
Be their biggest supporter and cheerleader
Encourage them to strive for excellence
Not perfection
In all they do
Giving God
Their utmost
For His Highest
Tell them to dream their dreams
But balance them with practicality
Teach them that true success
Is a persons loyalty, virtue, integrity
and Christian character
Mothers
Hold them closely
But not too close
Lavish them with love
Use wisdom to know when it is time
To gently and lovingly
Let them go
Push them out of your nest
Let them go to be on their own
To soar in God’s love
Pray, trusting in God to keep them
Knowing they are never alone
Also Mother
Know that your labor of love
Has not gone unnoticed by God
Your children are God’s gifts to you
And they are a very fertile field
Know that if you have planted seeds
of love, joy, peace, and grace
Your children will rise up and call you blessed
You are loved Mother
By the hearts of your children
That you have so tenderly cared for
They may not yet understand
That you are a ‘real person’
With imperfections, flaws, weaknesses
Instead of the perfect ‘mother image’
They wished unrealistically for you to be
And they also need you to understand this about them
Our children are not perfect
Nor should we expect them to be
This may be a time that they are
“Crossing over” into adulthood
Pulling away to assert themselves
And their dependence upon you
Try to understand and give them room
Trust God to teach them
It is the only way to raise
Capable, responsible, independent,
Emotionally healthy children
Showing them you trust them
And you trust God completely
To give them into His care
Know that one of your greatest strengths as a Mother
May be your willingness to admit
You cannot do not do it all yourself
To look outside yourself and find God’s answers
And encourage your children to know
That God’s spiritual help is what they so vitally need
“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
And having done our best
Our “everything” Mothers
We can only continue to cover our children in the
Armor of God’s Love and our Prayers
Giving them a birthright of faith
Knowing we have left an indelible mark
On our children’s hearts
In teaching them that God’s principles are timeless
And provide our children with a strong foundation
Knowing their rich heritage in Jesus
A living legacy of Christ’s love
“You are a letter from Christ....
Written not with ink
but with the Spirit of the living God,
not on tablets of stone
but on tablets of human hearts.”
2 Corinthians 3:3
If your children depart from God
Or from you Mother
Know that they will return Home
To you and to God
Do not give up on them
God certainly hasn’t
Know that He is working out all things
For good
He will give freedom
From the power of broken lives and heartaches
So these circumstances no longer keep you in bondage
And keep you from joy in Him
God teaches us to trust Him
With great faith
And in the Power of Jesus’ Resurrection
and Redemption
“Faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
Faith is
“Calling those things that are not as though they were!”
Romans 4:17
Faith is believing God’s Word in truth and spirit
“For I know the thoughts I have for you,
says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me,
and I will listen to you.
And you will see Me and find Me,
when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29: 11-13
“What a lioness was your mother
among the lions!
She lay down among the young lions
and reared her cubs....
Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard
planted by the water;
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.”
Ezekiel 19:2, 10
“There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will sing as in the days of her youth.”
Hosea 2:15
“We continually remember before our God and Father
your work produced by faith,
your labor prompted by love,
and your endurance inspired by hope
in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I Thessalonians 1:3
Precious Mothers
Trust God
Trust Him
Trust His righteousness to shine in
And through
All the difficult storms and circumstances of life
And through these very things
That Satan meant for harm
God will
Build faith, hope and trust
IN HIM
"Blessed are those whose strength is in the Lord,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage."
Psalm 84:5
In your journey into the heart of God
Continue praying with great faith Mother
Your children will remember your faithful love and devotion
But most importantly
They will remember God’s love
And your love for His Word
Pray without ceasing
And pass on the eternal flame of God’s Love
Pass it on
This is your greatest legacy
You fanned the flames of God’s gifts
Within your children
And this faith will be passed on
To your children’s children
A living legacy
From generation to generation
Keep passing on your heritage of faith
Stand on God’s Promises
Well done good and faithful servant
Beautiful, anointed, powerful women
Love Warriors of God
Mothers, Grandmothers,
And Spiritual Mother Mentors everywhere
All over the world
You are the embodiment of love, faith and courage
God’s “vessels of love and mercy
with skin on”
You are God’s beautiful workmanship
Created in Christ Jesus
To do the good and gracious works
Which God prepared you
In advance to do
Loving, caring deeply,
Passionately and affectionately
For your sons and daughters
You have been generous
With your love, strength, devotion and time
With a faithful heart open to God
Making room for His Holy Spirit
Which has welcomed the Presence of Christ
In your home
A sanctuary and haven for all seasons
Where God’s protective angels abide and dwell
Always with an open door for children, family and friends
Offering acceptance, safety, security,
Warmth, laughter and comfort
And divine and loyal service
With great joy and a cheerful heart
A constant reminder of God’s love and grace
Your children and all who have entered there
Are greatly blessed
Remember that God is the restorer and rebuilder
Of broken homes, lives, hopes and dreams
He alone holds the keys to happiness
He created you to be a beautiful expression of Him
He wants to shine His light through you
And into every facet of your being
Expressing His fragrance, colors, love and beauty
In ways no one else can do
God wants you to celebrate,
Appreciate and love yourself
In all your uniqueness
If you believe you have failed to be
The Mother and woman He created you to be
He is waiting for you
Come to Him
And ask His forgiveness
His arms are open wide for you
Our lives as Mothers are spent
In so much watching and waiting and building
Many of you have had waiting periods
That are very difficult
When you feel
You no longer have anything left to give
Remember that the source of your strength is Jesus
The supplier of all your needs
So lift your eyes up to Jesus
Wrap yourselves in the sunshine of God’s love
Praise Him no matter what you may be going through
And He will do all the rest
It is not always possible to be happy but
“The joy of the Lord is your strength”
Nehemiah 8:10
God wants to remind you of your roots in Him
To enrich your present life
And give purpose and hope to your future
“The Lord delights in those
who put their hope in His unfailing love.”
Psalm 147:11
God wants to wrap His arms around you
Your children
Your grandchildren
Because He loves you
With a perfect everlasting love
And He will never let you go
