The Masterpiece of MotherhoodMinta

Yes, this world can be painful, but there is also joy in salvation, hope in eternity, and peace in the presence of Jesus. The victory of Easter redeems the pain of motherhood and makes it one of life’s most rewarding roles. When we hurt, Jesus collects our tears. When our children stray from God, He moves heaven and earth to call them back. When dreams of motherhood are unfulfilled, God’s love and promises are unchanging. When we lose a child, we release that precious life into the arms of Jesus until we are reunited again. We are no longer defined by our role as a mother, but rather by our identity as His child. This world is broken, but it is being made new. Just as the spring bulbs push fresh green shoots out of the decomposing leaves fallen in winter, Jesus is bringing forth new blessings out of each season’s loss. He is taking what was once a curse and redeeming it to be an incredible blessing. I love the garden in spring. God is always waiting there to meet with me. If I listen carefully, I can hear Him whisper my name. Beloved. Forgiven. Redeemed. > Want more devotions from Greneaux Gardens?
