This is for all you Mothers out there.
A Psalm for Mothers
When your child was conceived within you, I was there.
He’s your gift from Me and it pleased Me so to give him to you.
You are specially made and carefully designed to shelter and nurture your child.
Moment by moment, he developed and grew inside you where you could not see, yet I saw.
His kicking and squirming made you aware of his growth.
The bonding between you made Me so proud of you both!
My plans for your family are filled with promise and hope.
I was there as month after month your body changed in preparation of your child’s birth.
When you felt heavy, clumsy and ill, My arms enclosed you.
You never looked so beautiful! There is nothing as lovely in all my Earth.
When your pains began, I labored with you.
I caressed your face. I stroked your hand.
Pain was not part of My original plan.
I know it seemed endless as each pain intensified. You probably thought that I wasn’t there.
Even My Son once asked, “Why?”
His mother endured the pain of His birth.
I was there and the pain made Me cry.
Your child announced his birth with a piercing squall.
I adored you as your eyes fixed upon him in awe.
My heart beat rapidly in anticipation of the day that he would acknowledge and respond to My call.
I’ve gone before you to prepare the way to raise your child day by day.
I’ll be there through each joy and every sorrow, and I’ll guide you come what may.
The field of harvest in which you labor is the children who fill your home.
I’ll be with you when you send him off on his first day of school, as well as 12 years later, when the world challenges his soul to a duel.
I’ll be as close as your breath, giving you rest and energy for each action-packed day.
Call on my Name and I’ll be there when you place your hand on his fevered brow, and your face, lined with worry, mars.
When he comes of age for his first driving lesson, remember, I do ride in cars.
When it breaks your heart to apply the rod of correction, I’ll be there to steer him in the right direction.
When he disobeys and in anger retorts, “You don’t understand!” I’ll be there. Lean on Me. Feel my comforting hand.
When you feel you have failed because of the mistakes you will make, I’ll be there. I will never leave you nor ever forsake.
When he makes choices that do not please you, when his dreams contradict yours,
Entrust him to Me. I’ll know what to do.
I see things that you cannot see.
Your prayers for your child are a fragrance to Me.
In my time I will answer them all.
My heart is touched by the tears that you shed.
I’ve collected each one in a bottle.
When I seem the most distant, that’s when I’m the nearest.
When I seem to be silent, I’m the most active, My dearest.
Your child will find Me when he’s not even looking, I’ll dwell in his home, not somewhere far above.
The mother who makes her heart My throne, will be a mother who blooms with My love.
Mothers are but children, too, in whom I take much delight.
It gives Me pleasure to father you.
Will you choose to give Me that right?
As you become putty within My hands of sovereignty, grace and love,
Your children will rise and call you blessed and will give praise to My name above.
Motherhood — what a beautiful and noble calling! God bless you each and every one
