The Motherly Love of Our Father!

Do you remember the story of Moses and his mom in Exodus 2:1-10? How she gave her son away to protect Him from danger? She placed Him in a basket and sent him down the river entrusting him fully to God. By God's sovereignty, He allowed Pharaoh's daughter to find the baby Moses crying and miraculously in His mercy and love God allows Moses' mom to nurse him after all, even in the safety of Pharaoh and is wife.

Like Moses' mom.....

1. Trust God to allow you to see His hand on your children.

Even if it puts your life at risk, as it did for Moses' mom. It is crucial that we realize that our children are marked by the hand of God. That they are unique and precious to God, just like they are. Remind your child every day who they are in Christ and who's they are. That they are one of a kind. They have designer genes. They are not one in a million, they are one in 6 billion! That it really matters to God that they wake up each morning. This will give them a wonderful, blessed, opportunity to see themselves through the eyes of God, as they grow up in a world where right is wrong and wrong is right. As they grow up learning to live from their identity in Christ, soon we began to instill in them this next application.

2. Believe that God has a special miraculous purpose for their lives.

Your kids can live their lives on purpose, not on accident. God is working in their lives and nothing will prevent Him from completing the work He has begun in their lives. Not their wrong choices or their bad decisions, not even the ugly mistakes that we are very sorry for as parents. Remind them daily that Jeremiah 29:11 is an application promise from God for their lives. "For I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord, plans to give you a future and a hope, not to hurt you but to help you." Then we can with confidence exercise His faith to believe Him for this next application.

3. Entrust and surrender each child back to God.

Trust that God will sovereignly take care of each one of your precious kids in His way and in His timing. Remember moms that your child came through you, but from God. He delicately wove them in your womb. He knew everything about your child long before they were conceived. They are beautifully and wonderfully made. This will encourage your child and position them to serve the Lord all the days of their lives.

Parents always be available to let Father pour through your life His never ending forgiveness, mercy, patience and love towards your kids, no matter how bad their behavior has been or what they have done. Remember that the best thing you can do for your children is to love your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength. You will parent your child according to your experience of being parented by God in your own life. Your kids don't need you to be a perfect parent, they simply need a parent that will allow God to parent them through you as you enjoy Him yourself.

May we rest in the motherly love of our heavenly Father!
