Mothers Day is a day to celebrate our moms for the price they paid to bring us into the world and the way they loved us out of the world. Unfortunately in the church most women are relegated to natural pregnancies, teaching children and cleaning up other peoples messes. In the beginning God blessed and commissioned Eve [wife and life giving mother] with the same mandate [use of word intentional] as He did Adam before He actually made them. 26 Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. [Genesis 1] God declared His intentions to make man and then described His intentions for man. In other words, there was a plan for man before there was man. Gods intention for man is to co-labor with Him as representatives of God. Man [male and female] were made in Gods likeness and image and that likeness and image includes ruling for God. Paul, picking up on this in Ephesians 2 tells us God prepared good works for those of us who are created in Christ Jesus before we were recreated in Christ Jesus. That plan involves dominion, fruitfulness, multiplication, filling the earth and subduing it. This plan is for men and women! The original plan was for a covenant couple [married with Gods blessings]. Today, with the assault on marriage the church must step into the role of fostering healthy relationships that provide cover for covenant keeping women. Moms arise, come forth, release what you have received and have been carrying in your heart. Bring forth new life! You have been created in Christ Jesus for good works that should not be hidden in nurseries. Come out of the back rooms into the main rooms and teach us how to faithfully receive what God deposits in us, how to faithfully nourish it, how to bring it out of us so that the rest of us can benefit from what it has to offer us. Keep THE Faith! Keep THE Passion! Our hunger & thirst FOR God escorts us into deep satisfaction IN God!
