Mother
Not everyone has a mother who lives up to the sentiments on Mother's Day cards. But whatever complaints or kudos we may have for our mothers, God honors mothers for the crucial role they play. Just becoming a mother is a blessing from God. Many of the famous mothers of the Bible did not conceive easily, but their legacy continued through the lives of their children. Eve was called the "mother of all the living" (Genesis 3:20). Women like Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, Hannah, Ruth and Mary are examples of honored mothers. Deborah's was called "a mother in Israel" (Judges 5:7) because she nurtured and guided an entire nation.

God forms us in our mothers' wombs.

Mothers are to be caregivers and comforters, but God is the ultimate one who cares and comforts us, even if our mothers do not.

Our love for God takes precedence over our love for, and responsibility to, our mothers.

The phrase "Like mother, like daughter" reminds us that mothers are a source for both good and evil. One king (see Asa) had to remove his own grandmother from the throne to stop her corrupt influence. Not even a mother should pull rank to promote disobedience to God.

When we marry, our primary relational commitment is transferred from our mother to our spouse.
