Passion over pain : A Mothers Legacy.
If we had to hire someone for all these roles, think of what it would cost; think if someone had to do all of this or even part of this, how tired that person will be. But more than that think of one single human being doing all these things- driven on by passion and fulfilment of a God given purpose.
We definitely need to thank God and our respective mums for all we have received - "honor her for all that her hands have done" (Proverbs 31:31) but of equal importance is to continue the legacy that she has provided of doing the work God has given us with a passion equaling hers.
Like her, be passionate about what God has called us to do for our jobs, for His purpose and for our families, balancing our act so that not one of these becomes our idol but do justice to each of these.
Happy Mother's Day to all.
Have you ever thought what is passion? Although not the generally accepted context, I think Psalm 39:3 describes passions so vividly -
"I felt a fire burning inside,
and the more I thought,
the more it burned,
until at last I said:
4 “Please, Lord,
show me my future"
As we can see, the passion to do Gods will is of prime importance in whatever we have been chosen to do by God.
Today, think of the passion of a mother. She performs the role of a caretaker, chef, housekeeper, guard, adviser, saver, driver, nurse, governess, primary health care giver, discipline creator, relationship advisor, Bible teacher, moral guide, and on and on and on.
