I pray for a vision

I desire His wisdom

as I pray for mothers this day

I pray for an awakening today.

The Lord showed me many picture frames, antique, vintage, retro, and modern. Each unique, whether they appeared weathered or ornate. Suddenly a bright light shone on them from above and they all came alive with beautiful patinas, alive with color. The light of the Lord must have been smiling down at them. His light brought out the best in each and every one of them. Every frame was unique and beautiful in its own time. The Creator’s touch.

Then suddenly the frames became window panes. Behind the panes were pictures of our mothers but then the Lord changed my vantage point for His reveal. Behind those pictures were layers and layers of other pictures, the grandmothers and greats of generations past, each unique as the frames that held them. The Creator’s touch.

Who are our mothers, grandmothers, and greats? They all have given birth. Even though some may wish to forget, the Lord reminds us that we all have birth mothers who bore us into this world. Most importantly, He was there with us, before the womb, in the womb and after the womb and we’ve been given life. This time of year may be very difficult for some but easy for others. But all are blessed because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us, died for our sins, redeemed us with His blood and rose again giving us eternal life.

Being thankful to our mothers who birthed us—wouldn’t that make God smile!  Remember your beginning is no small thing to God.

Let us not forget all the others who have helped us in a mother’s capacity as even Jesus said “…Who is My mother and who are My brothers...For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."                                                                                                                   By Janis Desjardins

May God bless you this Mother’s Day!                

Scriptures: “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV)

“Before I “formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV)

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD, rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (The seven lamps represent the eyes of the LORD that search all around world.” (Zechariah 4:10 NLT)
