The Weekly Encourager - May 6, 2010 - Mother's Day
I reprint here a Mother's Day prayer from Moms In Touch International. As you celebrate the day, please be sensitive to those among us whose mothers have either passed on, who were not the model parents, or who perhaps were never there at all. Also be considerate of those who long to have children but cannot. Let us all show true Christian charity.
May your Mother's Day be a tiny foretaste of what it will be like in Heaven, where we will all belong to the most wonderful family imaginable,with every need for love and companionship amply fulfilled in the most complete and satisfying way. No matter what our relationships have been on this earth, we have the promise of living forever with our Royal Family! Christ Himself, our older brother, will wipe every tear from our eyes. When all the tears have been shed, we will at last see only truth, goodness and beauty. Praise be to God!
I pray that out of Christ's glorious riches He may strengthen you, dear Mom, with power through His Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. And I pray that you, as a Daughter of the King, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now, dearly beloved Mother, to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
God is faithful,
