Pastor Josh shared some thoughts on this Mother’s Day
God-sent angels who teach us how to serve and to pray
Mothers very often exhibit various forms of sacrificial love
Which in effect is replicating the Lord in heaven above
On the importance of relationships, the sermon did focus
They bring out emotions like a beautiful blooming crocus
Our God is a god of relationships, Pastor Josh did state
Starting with his triune nature, ever since creation date
This is clear in Matthew chapter three from verse sixteen
The spirit of God came to rest on Son Jesus, it was seen
God saw that man needed a companion, per Genesis two
Because relationships are critical in everything we do
Given that, Pastor asked why relationships are so hard
God is omnipotent, loving, and is never caught offguard
But as human we all have limits and can get offended
Even if the impact of the action or words was not intended
Per Proverbs eighteen, taking offence is very unyielding
And like a castle, quarrelling puts up bars for shielding
But by putting up bars, we end up being more isolated
We need forgiveness for our mistakes, Pastor stated
As always, the hardest part is determine how to do this
Don't empower others to control our emotions and bliss
God loved Jesus and was well pleased, per Matthew three
And this was before any the Son’s miracles or ministry
Similarly, God loves us for what we are, not what we do
We should remember that to us His power does accrue
God chose us before creation, as per Ephesians one
In line with His pleasure, as each of us is an adopted son
Jesus came so we have abundance, per First John four
And thus we should love one another, he did underscore
God chose us, so we should have love and confidence
But if we do not connect to Him, the challenge is intense
Jesus sacrificed his life for his friends, per John fifteen
When we do things sacrificially, a similar attitude is seen
About relationships, we should have healthy expectations
A flow of generosity starts when it is at our foundations
God does more than he has to, we should remember
He wants to spend time with us January to December
And when we allow that, we learn about relationships
Giving us more security and confidence at our fingertips
