Tomorrow is Mother's Day. None of us would be here if God hadn't made our mothers first. God is the Creator, but mothers are His means of delivery--He chooses which women will give birth to which children, and those pairings make all the difference on who each of us will become. But God knows what He's doing... and that's the understatement of the year!
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
~Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
God knew each and every one of us before we were born--before we were even conceived! He decided what we would look like, what our personalities would be like, what we would like, what we would dislike, what our talents would be... He even decided where every last little freckle would be placed. He knows us inside-down and upside-out. He knows what we'll do and where we'll go far before it ever happens. And all of that is shaped, in part, through our mothers. If I had a different mother, I wouldn't be the same person. I wouldn't know the same people or do the same things, and the world (or at least a portion of it) would be very different. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and that includes the family we are born into. I couldn't imagine having any parents other than my own. They may not be perfect, but they love me unconditionally and I love them unconditionally. I may not be a perfect person either, but I like who I am and trust that God will continue to mold and shape me and help me grow into the person He wants me to be.
Lord, thank You for who I am and thank You for the family I was born into. I ask that You please watch over them and bless them with the desires of their hearts. You've known each and every one of us since before we were born, so You know EXACTLY what each of us truly needs. You are amazing, Lord, and I love you SO MUCH! In Jesus' name, Amen.
Love and God Bless,
M.C.
