May the Church be like a mother.
Caring for and nurturing new babes. Teaching the Word of God, being an example of righteous living, modeling spiritual disciplines and worship, and creating opportunities for spiritual growth.
May the Church be like a mother.
Praying daily for those who fill her home. Providing a covering, pleading the blood, battling in the Spirit, speaking life, hope, strength, and joy, and taking every need to the throne of God.
May the Church be like a mother.
Protecting those under her care. Creating boundaries, making unpopular decisions, and guarding the doors because she knows what’s best for her children.
May the Church be like a mother.
Cultivating peace. Her home is full of peace; she speaks words of peace; she carries peace with her into every situation.
May the Church be like a mother.
Sacrificing whatever is necessary for the benefit of her children. Putting their needs and well-being above her own.
May the Church be like a mother.
The greatest cheerleader. Encouraging, celebrating every victory, dusting off the dirt from a fall, and encouraging again.
May the Church be like a mother.
Interceding for the ones who have lost their way. Never forgetting their names, always standing in the gap, and celebrating at the return of every lost child.
Jesus, let our Church be like a Mother.
