Mother's Day - #3

As mother's, we can be comforted that not only does God love our children far more than we will ever be able, but He loves us in the same way. We should also be challenged to commit our love for our children to God, to be used by Him, as a vehicle to touch our children's lives. This sort of committed love is like a lens that will catch the Spirit's light and magnify it in our children's lives. This kind of love can "split the sky in two" allowing our children to catch a glimpse of God's shining face.

Quote - There are two ways of spreading light:
to be the candles or the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton

Dear Lord,
Thank you for Your limitless love. As much as I love my children, I know you love them, infinitely more. Please take my flawed, human love for my children and use it for Your glory. Let me be a clear mirror that reflects Your light; help me to magnify You. In Jesus Name, Amen.
