On this Pre-Mother's Day week of posts, I want you to know you are loved!
Your child(ren) don't only love ❤️ you but need you. You are the glue that holds things together for a child with learning differences. When the life gets crazy in a child's world, you are the calming influence. Your voice is comforting. Your face is reassuring. Your touch is calming. Your voice can calm like no other. Your investment creates such stability for the child. All of these have created a relationship of love between the two of you. Even on the hardest days, there is a smile that comes over your face when you see your child. Even with the sleepless nights, aggressive behavior and hours of helping with homework, you love that child and he loves you!
There are many others who love and appreciate you. Hopefully, family and friends let you know. But even if you get little appreciation from others, there is One who loves you beyond what you can even imagine. The God of the Bible loves you in a way that is beyond comprehension.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness..Jeremiah 31:3
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
Psalm 136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
These are great scriptures to remember how much God loves you. I don't want you to forget how God's is demonstrative. He loved people (including YOU) not just as creator but as redeemer. Here are a few verses of God's active involvement to bring us into a relationship with Him.
Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—
I John 4:9-10. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Mom, remember you are loved. Your child loves you intensely. God loves you even more, more than you will ever know. He loves you because He created you in His own image. He showed His love by the ultimate sacrifice of his son, Jesus. Jesus died for your sins to bring you into a relationship with God, the Father. Know that the love of God is an extravagant love toward you.
Mom, YOU ARE LOVED!
