Happy Mothers Day

Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. ~ I Corinthians 13:4-7. (NIV)

         Ive often Heard that a Mothers Love is the closest thing to Gods Love. Although truthfully no other Love even comes close to the Love of God this statement holds truth. The verses in I Corinthians 13:4-7 is a very good description of My mother. A mothers Love is often based on a simple fact that you are her child therefore no matter what you do she Loves you through it all.  When the Love of a Mother Combines with the supernatural Love of God you get what I like to call a SUPERMOM, and thats what I had. She allowed the Love of God to flow through her in every situation, when she allowed Love to flow through her she overcame her flesh in every situation. We were often disciplined Growing up and when I say that I mean spanked, We would often be spanked and sat down after and Read scripture explaining why we were spanked, and if we didn't give it to God what it would lead to down the road. I was blessed with the ability to listen to my mother because the wisdom she had impressed me so much, often she would know things without us telling her because she was run by Love and the Holy Spirit, she would sit down with us and pray. My Mother Raised children for 23 Years and Counting and she never grew weary, she gave us something very Valuable God, LOve, and Time. If we showed up 10 min late after our curfew, she didnt say Ill deal with it in the Morning, she against her flesh often got out of bed late in the night after being asleep for hours sometimes and would talk to us for hours, and explain that it wasnt about the time but the selfish attitude behind it and she would discern where this selfishness came from. She would give us the Gospel, give us a chance to share anything with her, tell us she Loved us and off to bed. But I would have to say my favorite thing about my Mother was the Next morning it was as if she had completely forgotten the night before, id walk out into the living room shy and nervous that I was in trouble. She would look over and see me and say, " Momma isnt mad at you, I dont hold on to anything, today is a new day and I love you." A clean slate was a blessing. You see she constantly displayed a Godly Love to me. And in my early years she helped me build My relationship with God, as I became a young man she stressed to me that I was becoming my own man now and she wouldnt always be there to guide us, but God would through the Holy spirit, she trained me on how to overcome every situation. By the time I hit High school I was a young man on fire for God, and through his Grace I never strayed. My Mom was never a, "because I said So," Mom, It was always because God said so and thats why the principals stuck with us kids even after we were grown, because momma wasnt the reason we werent living in Sin God was. One day I believe together from a son and mother perspective I will ask my Mom to write a book on parenting, but I know what it will look like, a book of  Bible verses with breif explanations on applying it to your life. A Mothers Love molded me in to the man I am today. A mothers Love has caused many people to hear the Gospel. A mothers Love Has Kept people from Hell. A mothers Love has caused people to be healed. A mothers LOVE has touched the lives of hundreds maybe thousands, A mothers Love will change the world. Mothers Don't listen to the Lies of Satan your Job is in my opinion I vital role in the kingdom of God. God bless all you Mothers today. And Momma if Your reading this I love you, Happy Mothers Day.
