A Mother’s Love I Corinthians 13:1-8a
Pastor Tom’s Weekly Blog. “A Mother’s Love” I Corinthians 13:1-8a
May 8, 2020
“It bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
I Corinthians 13:7-8a
St. Paul, in his first letter to the church at Corinth, defines essentially what it is to share the love of Christ with another. When I think of the love of a mom, I think of a love that has no end, a love that says, “I believe in you,” without necessarily believing you. It is a love that is self-less and hope-filled. The love of God through Christ Jesus is a love that has no bounds; it is a love that is all about doing and not simply a word to speak. A mom’s love mirrors Christ love; that is the miracle and the blessing. A mom is not defined by the ability or the reality of giving birth, rather a mom is someone God has placed in our lives that no matter what, looks beyond our shortcomings and was, and is, always there for us, seeking nothing more than what is in our best interest. A mom shares Christ’s love to another that believes what cannot be seen; hopes for what may seem unreachable, and endures through the challenges we face and cause along the way. A mom’s love never ends. A mom’s love witnesses the amazing grace of God without reservation, and seeks nothing less than what is best for us. A mom has the “love of Jesus, love of Jesus down in the depths of their heart” and is not afraid to witness a love that “bears all things, believes all things, endures all things.” Thank you Jesus, for the gift of a mother’s love.
