Genesis 17:16 (NASB) “I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”

Motherhood is a blessing. It was a blessing for Sarah, and it’s a blessing for me. I spent several years waiting for that blessing (not as many as Sarah!) so I don’t want to take it for granted. But I’m sure Sarah would agree with me that our biggest blessings can come hand in hand with our biggest challenges.

Every day, God uses motherhood to remind me how selfish I am, how impatient I am, how human I am. But every day, God also uses motherhood to remind me how gracious He is, how patient He is, and how holy He is.

Are you praying for blessings from God? Don’t be afraid of the challenges that may come with them. God will use them for His glory!
