Sacrifice

Happy Mother’s day to all of the wonderful ladies out there who are blessed to be mothers.

I am sure there will be a lot of messages to honor mother’s everywhere on this day (which is wonderful). It is nice to have a day set aside to give honor to the institution of motherhood. We should be thankful and give honor to our mothers everyday and not just this one day. I am sure we already do that.

This message is to encourage mothers to keep going, to press on and to know that our true reward awaits us in Heaven. Don’t get discouraged when things go wrong, bad things happen or you suffer persecution. Just keep doing the right things for the right reasons.

God will reward us one day. That is enough to know. One day we will see Jesus. All of our hope, strength and comfort is in Him. He is glorious and He is righteous. He is holy. He is our Lord and Savior!  Earthly cares will disappear in the light of His glory and grace. Let’s praise Him. Let’s give Him the honor He deserves. Watch how He pours out His blessing upon us time after time when we are obedient to Him.

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. ¹⁶ But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Hebrews 13:15-16 NKJV

Pray with me please.

Father God,
We are so thankful to be able to come before You today. We are thankful that You have provided us with everything that we need. You have blessed us with the earthly gift of motherhood. What a special blessing You have imparted to us. Today we praise You for Your beauty in creating mothers for us. You have put a special bond in the hearts of women to bear Your creation. Lord, we trace all of our gifts back to You. Every good thing You have given to us and we are truly thankful. May we bring honor to Your name through our submitted lives. May people look at us and say, “If that is being a Christian then sign me up.” Let us be positive impacts to others and freely show and share our faith in You with all others, including the lives You have given for us as mothers to nurture them in the truth. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
