Expecting?
We were never called to single parent our destinies!
God shows us some amazing things about ourselves through moms! A few things all moms can teach us:
- New life comes through an expectation and sacrifice,
- Unity and commitment birth new realities,
- New reality and vision must be carried to maturity.
Nothing is as clear as day as a mother expecting! What’s the one question you’re not supposed to ask any woman? Are you pregnant!? But did you know that you are expecting? Yes, I mean you! And I guarantee you’re showing it whether you know it or not.
Imagine if Noah had let his environment determine his reality. God directed Noah to build a boat to save his family from the coming flood. If Noah had let his expectations be based on his worldly circumstances, he never would have built the ark and humanity would have been lost. Instead, Noah’s based his expectations on God’s Word and goodness. We are invited to do the same. God doesn’t want us to abort His dreams for our life just because we don’t see how it’s relevant or possible in our current season. We are called to live out “Christ in us” to full term.
Matthew 17:20 says, I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.
God loves to affirm the mystery of motherhood. All it takes is one tiny seed planted in unwavering expectation of faith and love, and anything is possible! Expectations are meant to grow to maturity through relationship. That’s why God ordained man and women to come together in covenant to have children. God’s design is to give us hopes, expectations, and purpose to fulfill through intimacy and relationship with Him. We were never meant to single parent our lives apart from our Heavenly Father!
The One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all (Ephesians 4:6) sent His Son to nurture what He plants in your hearts. Keep your eyes on Jesus and you’ll carry the dreams He gives you to full term. Happy Mother’s Day.
Declare today:
I am not a single parent to the dreams or desires God has placed inside of me.
- I am not a single parent to His love, grace, patience growing in me.
- I am valued and have a destiny in Christ full of peace, blessing and abundance.
- Daily, I partner with Father God to see His Kingdom come into my life and world as it is in heaven.
I am certain that God who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Phil 1:6
