David Hill: The world’s not the same without mother.
Hi, I am David Hill. Got a minute?
That’s what a dear brother in Christ observed in the passing of his mother. God’s design for the home is wonderful. The nurturer, enforcer, operations manager of the house is usually mom. I’m blessed to have had a godly Christian mother. There was never a time at home, but when I called for mother, she was there. Perhaps you the same.
God made woman to complement the man (Genesis 2). All that man is not, she is. They’re to work together as one, Jesus said in Matthew 19:5. How many great Christian men and women owe their faith to a godly mother?
Interesting—God brought His Son, Jesus, into the world through the seed of woman (Luke 3). Mary was selected for her purity to be His mother. Now that’s something to think about! It was Mary who nurtured Him, observed Him at the temple, and was brokenhearted at the foot of the cross when He was crucified.
A mother’s love.
Mine has gone on to her reward, but her touch remains with me every day.
The world greatly needs good, godly Christian mothers. You know—that’s the gospel!
