“How To Be A Bold Mother”
Lead Pastor, Stephen Macaluso
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
4 Principles to
engage in Motherhood
(or
anything) boldly:
#1. Remember: You are loved
by God
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you… Isaiah
66:13
“For the mountains may depart and the hills disappear,
but even then I will remain loyal to you.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has
mercy on you. Isaiah
54:10 (NLT)
.
Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest
ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love
of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39 (NLT)
#2. Remember: Value people through
appreciation
Worry weighs a
person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. Proverbs
12:25 (NLT)
Her children rise up and call her blessed; and her
husband also praises her. Proverbs
31:28 (NLT)
#3. Remember: “Wonder Woman” &
“Superman” are fictional
characters
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you; Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but
rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of
faith God has given you. Just as each of
us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same
function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs
to all the others. Romans
12:3-5
#4. Remember: Focus on the
ultimate
reward
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun
evil. This will bring health to your
body and nourishment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits
of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats
will brim over with new wine. Proverbs
3:7-10
