How many mothers are truly appreciated? I have seen many children holding grudges against their mothers often blaming them for their personal failures. Children fail to understand that mothers receive no training to be mothers. It is mostly on-the-job training. I thought that the early part of motherhood is the toughest. But handling teens is even tougher. Mothers aren't perfect but they try their best and many a times sadly fail, resulting in moments of despair, despondency and desperation. Motherhood is not for the faint hearted. Mothers need a whole lot of grace, God's help, courage and persistence. Godly mothers fight their battles on their knees. They are totally dependent on Jesus, their Miracle worker. They see hopeless situations turn around. They see victories won through their fervent prayers

Your mother has fought battles you know nothing about. She gave her all to raise you.

Would you be grateful for the mother God has given you?

Proverbs 31:28"Her children rise up and call her blessed.

God is real because I know for a fact that I’m not doing what I do off of my own strength.

With all humbleness of mind, and meekness, with long suffering, supporting one another through love,

—Ephesians 4:2

‭Psalms 112:4

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

for those who are gracious and compassionate

and righteous.

‭"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

— Genesis 1:2 (KJV‬)

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, ``Do not look at his appearance... because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

We often judge people based on their outward appearance. But God looks deeper, he sees their heart.

He sees their brokenness, their pain, and above all their deep spiritual longing. Jesus always sought people who were in distress, who needed healing, both physical and spiritual. He always gave them the good news of the gospel. 

Today, let's ask God to give us eyes to see as the Lord sees. We don't know what the people around us are going through, our family, our colleagues, our neighbours and friends. Let's ask God to fill us with compassion,  love and understanding, that instead of judging them we might be a source of comfort to them. Let's not always be self absorbed, let's reach out to those around us.
