THE SACRIFICE OF MOTHERHOOD
To the mothers of the world—from my husband, Colin Campbell
I honor all mothers today. I am grateful for all mothers. They are the most important foundational stones in the building of families, cities, and nations. When motherhood falls, families, cities, and nations fall.
Every person born into this world since Adam and Eve has come through the womb of a mother. The womb of the mother is the studio where the Master Builder of all creation designs and creates all the intricate parts of each new person and puts them together over the space of nine months.
Every newborn baby must be cradled and nurtured in the arms of a loving, caring, and devoted mother. If not, that baby will suffer emotionally and nervously which will negatively affect their whole life.
MOTHERHOOD IS AN ANCHOR
Mothers are the anchors of the home. Without a mother the home has no anchor. Home and motherhood and synonymous terms.
MOTHERHOOD SURPASSESS ALL OTHER CAREERS
Motherhood is more than just a role to be performed, more than a duty or obligation. It is a high and elevated career, a ministry appointed by God. As far as God is concerned, motherhood surpasses all other careers.
MOTHERHOOD IS THE FOUNDATON
Motherhood is the foundation of the nation. And “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3).
MOTHERHOOD REVEALS THE IMAGE OF GOD
Motherhood is revealed in one of the names of God, El Shaddai, which pictures God as a nursing and nurturing mother, the Breasted One. The mothers who nurse their babies and rock cradles rule the world.
Motherhood is uniquely and innately given to women. It is involved in the creating of life in the image of God, life that is destined for eternity.
MOTHERHOOD IS SACRIFICIAL
Motherhood is a very sacrificial role. Motherhood is the laying down of one’s life so that families, cities, and nations will be built. God designed it to come out of homes where mothers have caught the vision of homemaking and family building.
The sacrifice of love,
the sacrifice of nurturing,
the sacrifice of faithfully training and teaching,
the sacrifice of sleepless nights, and
the sacrifice of loving tears . . .
all come through the heart of true mothers.
The devil wants to destroy motherhood. But . . .
We exalt motherhood.
We elevate motherhood.
We praise, honor, and applaud motherhood.
We speak up and stand up for motherhood.
We push back every negative voice that comes against motherhood.
Be blessed today, mothers.
WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT YOU? WE WOULD NOT BE HERE!
