Her Son
“These all continued with one accord in prayer and
supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his
brethren.” (Acts 1:14 KJV)
[Tomorrow] is Mother’s Day and I wonder how Mary, the mother of Jesus would
feel if she was here. I think her heart would break if she could see that
people are still rejecting Him as they did then. Jesus called people to Him
then and He is calling us now. He still has His arms open wide waiting for
us to come to Him.
We may have accepted Him into our hearts as our aviour, but a lot of the
times we get so involved with our busy schedules that we put Him on the
shelf. When we have time, we may take Him down and spend a few minutes with
Him. Isn’t it tragic that we can make the time to watch television, but
can’t make the time for Jesus?
On one of the Gaither Homecoming Videos, Gloria said that when their
children were little she told them to pick up their clothes, write thank you
notes, brush their teeth, and do their homework. She said, “But when did I
tell them the things that are going to last? When did I teach them the
Scriptures they could hide in their heart”?
Mothers, teach your children about Jesus. Help them memorize verses so that
they will have them in their hearts in times of despair and heartache. You
can buy them everything that money can buy, but if you don’t tell them about
Jesus, all of that means nothing. Tell your children that Jesus Loves them
and then prove it to them by your words and actions to them. I urge you to
love your children with the Love of Jesus.
