In May, with Mother’s Day in the U.S., we give extra attention to moms—bouquets, gifts, quality time, and church services filled with appreciation. These are ways we show our love. But the most important love a mother can receive is the love of the Father.
God knows that motherhood is one of the most challenging and rewarding roles a woman can have. He understands the joys, struggles, comfort, hurt, confidence, anxiety, togetherness, and loneliness that come with it. He sees the sacrifices and the days when appreciation goes unspoken.
To God, mothers are His daughters first—beautiful, precious, and cherished. We always need His love, guidance, provision, and protection.
Learning what God says about moms is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Nurturing is best when done from a full cup—and there’s no better source than Him.
When you surrender yourself—and your family—to Christ, you can be the wife, mom, and woman you’re called to be.
In this devotional, we’ll spend some time in scripture and discover God’s heart, desires, and plan for mothers. Over the next five days, let’s look to His Word and learn how to love everyone in our lives, starting with our Heavenly Father.
