Motherhood…God’s Idea

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.  Genesis 3:20

God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” Genesis 17:15-16

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13

From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God. Psalm 22:10

Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother’s breast. Psalm 22:9

In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Luke 1:42-44

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.  John 19:26-27

I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.  2 Timothy 1:5

Happy Mother’s Day!
