Happy Mother's Day!

A tribute to all mothers. In memory of my mother, she died in 2002. I have written this poem, and I wish to encourage all living mothers to carry on loving their children despite the difficulties of their situations. Wishing all mothers a Happy Mother's Day.

Dear mum, I love you and still miss you.

Who am I before the Lord?
What does He want of me?
Where does He want me to go?
Who am I before the Lord?

He bids me to be still and wait,
He bids me to meditate upon His Word.
He bids me to put on His armour,
He bids me to wait for His timing.

Who am I before the Lord?
What does He want of me?
Where will He sent me to serve?
Who am I before the Lord?

He anoints me with His cleansing oil,
He fills me with His Holy Spirit,
He empowers me with His glorious might,
He bids me walk in obedience.

In fame or in drudgery,
In health or in sickness,
In plenty or in want,
In fun or in sadness,
In life or in death,
He bids me walk in obedience.

I set my Lord before my eyes,
Trusting Him at His Word,
I will embrace the joy and sorrow
Which comes with this difficult task
called Motherhood.
I will bear godly children,
For the Kingdom of Heaven.
I will train godly soldiers,
For Armageddon!

Thank You Lord.

And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit.
And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed.
Therefore take heed to your spirit,
and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Behold, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
As arrow are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded ; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
