Happy Mother’s Day!
How I LOVE My MOTHER!/Even though it’s been 5 years since she went home to the Lord!
1. I Love her verbally
2. I Love her physically
3. I Love her patiently
4. I Love her attentively
5. I Love her gratefully
6. I Love her generously
7. I Love her honorably
Eph. 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
What does it mean to obey your parents “in the Lord”? I think “in the Lord” means as Christians. Without Christ you can’t obey your parents.
Nobody is perfect in raising their kids! We all make mistakes. The greatest gift anyone can give their mother is the words:
“I LOVE YOU MOM”
***How love is rekindled if you have backslide over the years.
1. Ask forgiveness
2. Make the choice to forgive
3. Don’t hesitate to get help
4. Give yourselves time to heal; be patient
5. Share Life stories with each other again
6. Fall in Love with Christ again
“Be still and know that I am God…” (Psalm 46:10).
As we grow in relationship with our Creator, we may be amazed to find that our desperate and heartfelt need for love has already been filled…by God Himself.
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom 12:2).
Psalms 139:13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born.
This reading gets us to re-direct our focus on the eternal God and reminds us to look upwards to the omniscient Creator for the answers WE are looking for instead of looking at the created; ourselves and the world around.
Y0u are the masterpiece of God made in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:1-10.
1. Created for the Master’s purpose
2. You have everything you need to do to do what God wants you to do.
*Stop looking at what you cannot do and look at what you can do.
3. As God’s masterpiece He uses everything in your life to bring about his purpose.
