God honors mothers, because He loves families. He loves families so much He makes it a point to put the lonely in families. He adopts us into His own family. He draws women close to Him through their role as mothers, revealing His love for us as they delight in their kiddos. It’s no surprise there are some great Bible verses about mothers.
Mom, you are amazing. The way you juggle it all is masterful. Your kisses magically heal boo-boos, and your loving guidance turns baby birds into confident fliers. You clean up spilled milk, chaperone school dances, help with homework, interview babysitters, cut the crusts off sandwiches, change countless diapers, sing lullabies, clean puke out of car seats, comfort broken hearts, and dole out band-aids like they’re going out of style! You know your job is often thankless, yet somehow also incredibly rewarding.
The task of raising children can be overwhelming and even painful, but God offers us instruction and encouragement to help equip us. Here’s what the Bible says about you and your family in these beautiful Bible verses about mothers. Well, they might not all be strictly about mothers, but they remind us of you, mothers.
