Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God? (Isaiah 66:9; CPDV).
You are my Mother –
But not like my mother on earth.
You’ve not abused me,
Or filled me with dread since my birth.
You are my Mother –
But you don’t regard me with scorn.
You don’t condemn me,
Or make me regret I was born.
You are my Mother –
But you don’t berate, or control.
You don’t resent me,
Or make my subjection your goal.
You are my Mother –
For you know the meaning of love.
Your only objectives:
My healing; my freedom; my good.
We know that God makes everything work together for the good of those who love God and have been called according to God’s purpose (Romans 8:28; NLT).
