Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s message is a great reminder for all of us, whether you’re a mom of little humans or a mom to teenagers, or a surrogate mom who serves others, our work never goes unnoticed by our Audience of One who loves us and strengthens us to do all He’s called us to do.
The days are long
Mama, I know
You feel alone
You feel like even after everything is checked
There’s still more to do
It’s not enough
You second guess
Wondering what you are even doing this for
But sit
For a minute
Take a breath
Invite His Spirit in
Let Him whisper this:
Your prayers have been heard
Your tears have been seen
I know you are crying out to Me
Do you believe?
That I am here
In the midst of everything
Late night feeds
I see
Tears in the kitchen sink
Wash down to Me
Remember when you serve the least
You are serving Me
Your home welcomes Me
Your worship brings joy to Me
I hear the songs you sing
I hear the words you cry out
I hear everything
I am there with you in the room
As you place on those little shoes
I watch as you discipline
With the best of intention
I see you lose your temper
& then remember
These little ones
Are still so young
& all they need is you
Their mum
You are everything to them
& You are everything to Me
I have entrusted you with their little hearts
So that on the day we meet
You’ll get to show Me who they’ve become
& I’ll get to say, daughter, well done
“For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you [h]brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me, I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me.
Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink?
And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You?
And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You?
And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least of these My brethren, you did it for Me.” – Matthew 25:35-40
