Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie at his time for today's word,
- 0:05Speaker 1: hailed in grace, held in grace. Proverbs thirty one twenty
- 0:11Speaker 1: eight says her children arise and call her bless her
- 0:15Speaker 1: husband also, and he praises her. Mother's Day is a
- 0:20Speaker 1: beautiful reminder of the strength, the sacrifice, and the love
- 0:25Speaker 1: that often go unseen. Whether it's a mother by birth,
- 0:29Speaker 1: a spiritual mother, a mentor, or a caregiver, God has
- 0:33Speaker 1: placed nurturing hearts in our lives to reflect his own compassion.
- 0:38Speaker 1: A mother's love is often expressed in quiet, consistent ways.
- 0:42Speaker 1: It's in the early mornings and the late nights. It's
- 0:45Speaker 1: in the prayers whispered when no one else is listening.
- 0:48Speaker 1: It's in the encouragement given when a child feels like
- 0:51Speaker 1: giving up. These moments may not always be celebrated publicly,
- 0:56Speaker 1: but Heaven takes notice of every single one. Scripture paints
- 1:01Speaker 1: a picture of a woman clothed with strength and dignity,
- 1:04Speaker 1: not because life is easy, but because her trust is
- 1:08Speaker 1: rooted in God. She shows us that real strength isn't
- 1:12Speaker 1: found in perfection, but in perseverance, not in having all
- 1:16Speaker 1: the answers, but in continually seeking God for wisdom. For some,
- 1:22Speaker 1: mother's day is joyful. For others, in may carry a
- 1:25Speaker 1: mix of emotions, memories of mothers who have passed, longing
- 1:29Speaker 1: for a child, or healing from difficult relationships. Wherever you
- 1:33Speaker 1: find yourself today, God meets you right there with grace.
- 1:37Speaker 1: He is close to the broken hearted and faithful to restore.
- 1:40Speaker 1: If you are a mother, know this. Your role is sacred.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Even when you feel unnoticed or unappreciated. Your impact is eternal.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The seeds you plant through love, discipline, and faith will
- 1:53Speaker 1: continue to grow long after the moment is passed. You
- 1:57Speaker 1: are shaping lives, you are building legacy, and you are
- 2:00Speaker 1: reflecting the heart of God. And if you've been blessed
- 2:03Speaker 1: by a mother or mother figure, take time to honor them,
- 2:07Speaker 1: not just with words, but with gratitude that acknowledges the
- 2:11Speaker 1: depth of their sacrifice. Today and all week, in all year,
- 2:16Speaker 1: let's celebrate the beauty of nurturing love, the kind that gives,
- 2:21Speaker 1: the kind that forgives, the kind that uplifts and endures.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It's a reflection of God's own heart. Love us. Love
- 2:29Speaker 1: is patient, love is kind, love is unwavering. Oh Father God,
- 2:34Speaker 1: thank you for the gift of mothers and those who
- 2:36Speaker 1: nurture and guide us. Thank you for their strength, their sacrifices,
- 2:40Speaker 1: and their love. God, we pray that you would refresh
- 2:43Speaker 1: every mother today, restore their strength, renew their joy, and
- 2:47Speaker 1: remind them how deeply they are valued. For those who
- 2:51Speaker 1: are hurting, bring comfort and peace. God, let your love
- 2:54Speaker 1: feel every space in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your
