GOD’S LOVE THE CLOSEST EXAMPLE; SIMPLY PUT, A MOTHER!!
After all the poems, songs, truism, and stories of endurance faith hope and love. I can say without any reservation that the CLOSEST EXAMPLE OF GOD’S LOVE, SIMPLY PUT, A MOTHER. My friends a MOTHER exemplifies what and who God is.
In addition you can define a MOTHER and her love in three words “SELFLESS, SACRIFICIAL, AND UNCONDITIONAL.” As a Child of God I can say this because when I meditate on the goodness and love of God I become speechless at the thought of what and how the plan for my life has been played out for my Salvation in the mind and heart of God and my MOTHER.
So today I can make it personal and I can make it all about me because my God is a personal God and my MOTHER was a personal MOTHER and as you look at your MOTHER or GRANDMOTHER or AUNT or SISTER or whoever represents a MOTHER to you in your life and like I, I hope you can open your mouth in awe of the Omnipresence of a mother who is always there.
The Omniscience of a mother who is always knowing, and friends I can go as far as to say the Omnipotence of a MOTHER because I believe their is nothing most MOTHERS cannot and will not do for their child and one of the greatest attributes of a MOTHER’S love in addition is it’s unchangeable, no matter what situation or circumstances a child goes through in life a mother’s love for that child never changes.
Listen at what E. G. White says about the love of God for his children and compare the same words to what your MOTHER means to you. “True love is not merely a sentiment or an emotion. It is a living principle, a principle that is manifest in action.
True love, wherever it exists, will control the life. Thus it is with the love of God (A Mother). and in all His (Her) works, in all His (Her) dealings with mankind (there child), His (Her) character is revealed.” (Published in The Union Conference Record, June 1, 1900)
“Years ago, a young mother was making her way across the hills of South Wales, carrying her tiny baby in her arms, when she was overtaken by a blinding blizzard. She never reached her destination and when the blizzard had subsided her body was found by searchers beneath a mound of snow.
But they discovered that before her death, she had taken off all her outer clothing and wrapped it about her baby. When they unwrapped the child, to their great surprise and joy, they found he was alive and well. She had mounded her body over his and given her life for her child, proving the depths of a MOTHER’S love.
Years later that child, David Lloyd George, grown to manhood, became prime minister of Great Britain, and, without doubt, one of England’s greatest statesman. (James S. Hewett, Illustrations Unlimited, Tyndale, 1972, p. 375.)
That story my friends says it all about a MOTHER’S LOVE? “For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her (CHILD) safely trusts her; so (THEY) will have no lack of gain. She does (THEM) good and not evil All the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar.
She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household,…….. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Prov. 31:10-30 (NKJV)
My friends it now becomes personal again because when I enter one of the twelve gates in God’s kingdom that’s made of a substance like pearl from God’s hand and I walk down those streets of pure gold that is like transparent glass, as I walk with all of my love one’s, I will notice my loving Savior reaching over wiping away my mother’s tears from her eyes as angels listen in, he tells my MOMMA no more tears my child, we made the perfect team. He’s here, he’s here!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MY SPECIAL MOTHERS I LOVE YOU SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE A MOTHER.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
