Moments Of Peace For MomsBài mẫu

Comforted by God A mother was trying to calm her fretful little daughter. Soon her loving embrace and tender caresses had quieted the four-year-old’s uneasiness. But the mother herself was grieving because of the recent death of her own mother. Looking up, the little girl saw her moist eyes and asked sweetly, “Mama, do you want to be holded too?” The mother’s tears began to flow freely, and the child hugged her and whispered, “Mama, God will hold you, won’t He?” Those words consoled her. How reassuring to know that our Lord is the “God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3). Although we may sorrow greatly, God is good, and heaven will one day reveal that His purpose was never to hurt us but to bless us. So we cast all our care upon the Lord, believing that He is holding us even when we do not feel it. There is solid comfort in that reality. As we turn our problems over to the loving Savior, we will be able to say with the psalmist: “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy” (Psalm 94:19). — Henry Bosch
