A Mother's Love

---

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

A wise mother fills her home with more than just routines — she fills it with the richness of Christ’s Word. Whether in song, conversation, or quiet teaching moments, she creates a spiritual rhythm that lingers in her children’s hearts. Her voice may be soft, but it carries the melody of truth. Through shared hymns and heartfelt prayers, she not only teaches, but worships — showing that wisdom isn’t just spoken, it’s sung and lived in the atmosphere of grace.

"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."

In His final moments, Jesus didn’t just entrust His mission to His disciples — He also entrusted the care of His mother. This verse is a sacred reminder that a mother's love endures all seasons, even when her children grow into adults. Her heart still holds them close. Jesus honored that love by ensuring His mother would be protected and cherished. In the same way, godly mothers offer a love that does not end at childhood — it evolves, deepens, and remains faithful through all of life.

 "My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother."

A mother’s love is more than emotion — it’s a living legacy, a guiding law. Her values, spoken with care and reinforced by example, become etched into her children’s hearts like commandments carved in stone. The “law of thy mother” isn't about rules — it's about the standard of love she sets. From bedtime prayers to firm yet gentle discipline, from hugs that heal to words that correct, her love writes the moral code her children live by. It is not enforced out of fear but followed out of honor. A godly mother shapes not just the behavior of her children, but their character — building within them a conscience that echoes her loving voice for a lifetime.

 "And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her."

A mother’s love refuses to let go. The Shunammite woman’s plea is not just emotional — it’s filled with faith, conviction, and fierce devotion. Her child’s life is on the line, and she will not stop until she secures help. Her determination moves the prophet to act, showing that a mother’s loving persistence can stir heaven and earth. This verse reminds us that a mother’s love is often a divine echo — strong, relentless, and unwavering in the face of despair.

 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

These verses are often read at weddings, but they also paint a perfect portrait of a mother’s love. Her charity is shown not in grand gestures but in the thousands of small sacrifices she makes daily — bandaging scrapes, listening with compassion, forgiving endlessly. She is patient when tired, kind when stretched thin, and loving when no one else is watching. A mother’s love bears and believes, hopes and endures — and in doing so, reflects the very heart of God.

"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another."

A mother’s love lives in the everyday gestures — a warm hug, a patient word, a heart that always makes room. Romans 12:10 speaks of a love that honors others above self, and this is at the heart of a mother’s affection. She chooses her children’s needs over her own, offering a living example of what love looks like in motion. In a mother’s embrace, children learn what it means to be valued, comforted, and prioritized. Her love speaks in action — and through it, she teaches the gospel with every gentle touch.

"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."

A mother’s love is one of the earliest reflections of God’s love that a child experiences. It’s in the joyful laughter, the shared meals, and the quiet bedtime prayers. Her love teaches what it means to give without expecting, to forgive without keeping count, and to care without condition. As 1 John 4:7 reminds us, love comes from God — and a mother who loves deeply and truly, brings heaven close to home.

"And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."

A mother’s love wraps her children like the blankets she gently tucks around them at night — secure, comforting, and complete. Colossians 3:14 reminds us that love is what holds everything together. In the quiet acts of care, from bedtime routines to whispered prayers, a mother knits the fabric of her family with grace. Her love becomes the bond that steadies hearts and strengthens faith — perfect in its persistence and beauty.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

A mother’s love is fertile ground where the fruit of the Spirit grows. In her gentle words, joyful laughter, and patient teaching, her children taste the goodness of God. Her home becomes a sanctuary where faith is not just taught, but lived. Through her longsuffering, she teaches grace. Through her peace, she calms storms. Through her faith, she inspires. In every moment, she reveals the Spirit’s work — quietly powerful, deeply rooted, and beautifully life-giving.
