THE LOVE OF A MOTHER
FOR
HER  SON

Mutual obedience to God comprises a tie that binds more closely than mere bloodlines.

♫Bind Us Together Lord
Bind us Together
With cords that cannot
Be broken.
Bind us together Lord,
Bind us Together
With
Love ♫

          As I’ve learned recently that some religions do not have a personal relationship with their god, I appreciate more than ever that our God, desires for us to know Him better all the time.  Our dear Holy Spirit will constantly show us ways to understand God better and grow closer to Him.
          Our God is ALL things to us…Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Friend, (you can list many other relationships you have recognized in His Word that speak to your need to know Him better.  (Protector, Provider, Guide, Father…all things).
          Those of us who have had earthly husbands, have learned more about God as our Heavenly Husband.

A  NEW  AREA  FOR  ME

          Today, I looked at Jesus’ words in Mark 3:33-36, and I found a new way to love my Lord.  In this passage, He desires for us to love Him like a mother loves her sons and daughters.
          What Great humility and TRUTH our Lord shares with us here.  What honor He bestows on those who are united with Him: those who do the will of God.
          We accepted Jesus as related to us in so many ways.  But now, can we accept Him as a son?

TRADITIONS  OF  MEN

          I know this goes against the traditions of men who cannot read between the lines of God’s Word (the Bible) and begin to imagine how Great is His Love and acceptance of His children.
          When Jesus paid it all for us and we accepted His Sacrifice for us, we were accepted into His family with all the rights and privileges of sons and daughters, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, and mothers and fathers.

YOU SAID YOU

WANTED TO KNOW ME

            I had never looked at Jesus as a son.  But I know the deep, abiding love I have for my own sons and even for some young men who are brothers in the Lord, who seem like sons and love me with the love they have for a mother.  I have wondered from time to time why I did love them so much, almost instinctively beyond my own choosing.

JESUS  MAKES  IT  CLEAR

          Jesus makes it clear about another form of love to be experienced in the Household of God.  He desires from us even the deep, abiding, loyal, admiring, faith, that we have in our natural sons and daughters to be magnified toward Him, as He looks at us and says, “Behold, My mother.” in verse 34.  And in Mark 3:35, He says, “For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is My brother, and My sister, and mother.
          My Bible Commentary says:  “Mutual obedience to God comprises a tie that binds more closely than mere earthly bloodlines.”
          So, in the natural, we did not give birth to Jesus, but by the Holy Spirit as we became a part of His Kingdom through accepting Jesus as Lord, He honors us as brothers, sisters, and mothers in the Lord.
          We cannot deny the Words of Christ Jesus, that they are TRUTH and life to us as we accept more ways to know Him better and LOVE Him as He wishes us to do. 

WE  ARE  NOT  MARY

          No.  We are not “Mary”.  She was a chosen vessel just as are we.  But, we can see ourselves as “a” mother among many who love Jesus with the Love of a mother.  Mary knew this love…and now do we.

                                        

HAPPY   BIRTHDAY  JESUS
We feel closer to you today than ever before.
We’ve found “another” way to love You
With
A  Mother’s  Love
