“In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, to a virgin named Mary and said:“ Greetings, dear woman! The Lord is with you! "Confused and worried, Mary tried to understand what an angel could mean." You will take and give birth to a son, and you will call him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his kingdom will never end! "Mary asked the angel:" But how can this happen? I `m A virgin. “The angel replied:“ The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So, a baby born will be holy, and it will be called the Son of God. What else, your cousin Elizabeth became pregnant in old age! People said that she was barren, but she conceived her son and now in the sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God. Mary replied: “I am the servant of the Lord. Let everything you said about me come true. “And then the angel left her.
Luke 1: 26-38 (NLT)
We hear this story again and again, and every time we say: "Wow, what a beautiful story about becoming a mother." We look at Mary and see how God specifically chose her for the mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What an honor, what a privilege, but what a responsibility. Maternity - one of the most useful tasks that were given to women, at the same time, it is one of the most difficult. Children do not have a guarantee, a money back guarantee, a refund policy, or a 30-day trial period. When you enter, you are. No user manual, user online support or 24-hour hotline. I remember when I became a mother at the age of 20, every time I called my mother when something seemed strange. I called like this: “Mommy, they said that the children eat every three hours, and he sleeps for three hours and 5 minutes, should I wake him up?” Mom, I'm not sure that he is breathing correctly, should I wake him up? "Mom, I thought that the children had to smile all the time when this baby was crying, YEARS." Like me, many other mothers were thrown into the fire, if you like. Mother can be very complex and lonely matter. I am almost 40 years old, and I am sitting again with the mother of my 18-year-old son, Cayle, my 15-year-old daughter, Cash, my 11-year-old son, Carnell III, and my granddaughter of my 18-year-old son, an almost two-year-old daughter, Ania. I serve as a pediatric and adult chaplain for the Delaware hospice, I serve in the ministerial headquarters of my church. Tabor AME in Philadelphia, I own and manage my company Desakajo Publishing, teach, preach, mentor, advise, and heaven knows what else. Needless to say, I have all the hands. Of all that I do, the mother has a predominance.
Unlike the story of Mary that the Englishman met motherhood, many of us came to this place of motherhood quite differently. While some women prayed and planned motherhood, like Hanna, others were forced into motherhood through their own bad choices or unfortunate circumstances beyond their control, like Hagar. Whatever way we come to the place of motherhood, we are here. Now what? What does mother mean virtuously? I'm so glad you asked. Word virtuous regarding the mother is in Proverbs 31:10. Lemuel’s mother, the queen’s mother, tells him what his wife and his children’s mother should look like. The dictionary defines the virtuous, as one who has moral superiority. The word virtuous in Hebrew is ?????? which is transliterated as Hail This word occurs 224 times in the Old Testament. The amazing thing about this word is that when it is translated for humans, it is power, strength and power. Although the word is translated from the mother’s point of view, we can be sure that the meaning remains the same. Mothers are strong, strong and powerful. Words are powerful, and we use words that can change the course of our lives. Virtuous (powerful, powerful and powerful) mothers should start talking about the amazing gift that God called us to be. We carry life, and we educate those whom we trust in our power, strength and strength. God called us to this place of motherhood in order to show the love necessary for all people. There is nothing like mother's love. There is no medicine that can beat the kiss and hug of the mother. Imagine that we would like our life if we could turn to similar patterns of a mother in addressing God. As we think about what it means to be a virtuous mother, there are three things that I would like to say in this article: “Virtuous mothers love unconditionally, faithfully lead and constantly learn.
Love unconditionally
Glamor to become a mother quickly rises, when the first day of morning sickness comes, your legs swell up, you become as big as a house, and this first pain in your work really hits you. We have these fantasies of a smooth pregnancy with fast, painless delivery. What is surprising is that even after all this, we instantly fall in love with the little man we carry inside of us. Instant unconditional love! We were created to carry life, and this in itself is a wonderful gift that God has entrusted to us. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11: 5 (NLT), " Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in the womb of your mother, so you cannot understand the work of God that does everything. " When I think about being a mother, I know that I was created to do something wonderful. God is love, and we are all created in the image and likeness of God, which is love. Virtuous motherhood encourages us to love and teach our children how to do the same. The Bible clearly states what love is and which is not. As a mother, we must understand that God trusts us with these precious little ones. They see God through us, and we must always represent Love. Virtuous motherhood means speaking, walking and living by the Word of God. Beloved, try to be what says 1 Corinthians 13: 1-7 (Message)
" If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy, but I do not like it, I am not only the creator of the rusty gate. believe what the grief says: “Jump,” and she jumps, but I don't like, I don't do anything. but, but I do not like, I got there now.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more about others than about itself.
Love does not want what it does not have.
Love is not worth it
Does not have a swollen head,
Do not force yourself to others
Not always "I'm first"
Does not fly off the handle,
Does not hold the sins of others
Not revealed when others creep
Enjoys the heyday of truth,
Doing something
Always believes in God
Always looking for the best
Never looking back
But continues to go to the end.
Leading
Virtuous motherhood encourages us to lead by faith. Our faith enables us to live, move, and have our blessing in the fact that God has anointed us to our mother. The anointing is simply the power of God, beloved upon us with a purpose. (Bishop CM Hudson) God gives us the opportunity to endow our children. Leadership requires binding to the case. So often we fall victim to the spirit of throwing in the towel, because we are upset and do not appreciate. Virtuous mothers understand that faith does not always show tangible returns. Faith allows us to lead where only God knows the way. Our children are like unpacked gifts. We know that there is something good inside, we just have to be patient until the moment of unfolding. As we strive to lead our children in good faith, we must understand that God is responsible for what we teach them. What we say or do not say has a great effect on our children. Proverbs 6: 20-23 (Message) states: My son, keep your father's commandment And do not leave the teachings of your mother; Tie them constantly to your heart; Tie them around your neck. will lead you; When you sleep, they will follow you; And when you wake up, they will talk to you. Proverbs helps us understand that a virtuous mother plays a key role in the lives of children. It said that the teaching of the mother is the light, and the father’s commandment is the lamp. The father tells the child what to do and the mother to the child’s teachers how to do it. Virtuous motherhood requires specific divine training, intentional anointed modeling, and faithful guidance.
Learn constantly
Moms, you can not be effective if you do not study. Read about being a mother, listening to other women who have the wisdom about motherhood, and talking to God about motherhood every day. There is always something to learn. You either learn what you should do or what you should not do. Take motherhood seriously. Look at this as your ministry. Try to please God in your mother. Honor God when you give birth to your children in a more perfect way. Think of the many problems that Mary experienced as the mother of Jesus. I often wondered if she had to slap Jesus? Should she urgently expose our Savior? Was he a crying baby? What did she tell him about who he was? How did she force the children of the neighborhood to negatively influence Him if He were not an outcast? Did she use positive reinforcement? She said, “Am I going to tell your father?” Did Jesus go through two terrible? Was Jesus the boss because he was the oldest child? Are his losers jealous of Him? All children? All these questions are maternal issues. use and drop everything else: God called you to this place this time. Honor God to who you are. Follow what Paul says in 1 Timothy 4: 6-16 (Report) You were resurrected in the Message of Faith and you followed the correct teaching. Now pass this advice to the followers of Jesus there, and you will be a good servant of Jesus. Stay away from silly stories that dress like a religion. Exercise every day in God - there is no spiritual flabbiness, please! Training at the gymnasium is useful, but a disciplined life in God is much more important, which makes you fit both today and forever. You can count on it. Take it to heart. That is why we rushed so completely into this enterprise. We take on God, the Savior of all men and women, especially believers. Pull out the word. Learn it all. And do not let anyone let you down because you are young. Teach the believers of your life: in word, behavior, love, faith, honesty. Stay on your post, read the Scripture, giving advice, teach. And this special gift of service was given to you when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed - keep it in the dust and in use. Develop these things. Immerse yourself in them. People will see that you are ripe right in front of their eyes! Keep a hard grass both on your character and on your teaching. Do not be distructed. Just go on. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation , "
