<p>The number one question that people ask of God is why He allows suffering to come to them. This question has caused more than one pause for minister and layperson alike.</p>
<p>As a woman, it can seem like your suffering has gone unnoticed. After all, women are the keepers of the earth and home. You look after your families much like the woman mentioned in Proverbs 31. You don’t clothe them with scarlet but you do pray for them and that covers them with the blood of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with your own pain and hurt, there seems to be no one there for you. Maybe your heart is broken over a divorce. It could be that someone has brutalized you physically or mentally. You have learned to hide your pain and go on for the sake of the kids or for your livelihood. After all, the bills don’t stop coming because we are hurt.</p>
<p>Even at church on Sunday, you greet others with a smile that hides deep suffering inside. But how far can that really get you? Some women feel that there is strength in pain. The truth is that there is strength but not  that way.</p>
<p>When the hurt is that great, even your soul aches. In this life, it seems quite unfair that the deeds of the guilty can go unpunished. The only way that you see to stay in the “game of life” is to deny your pain and thus, a big part of yourself.</p>
<p>God wants you to know right now that  just will not do. Did you know that His heart is broken when your heart is broken? If Jesus wept for Lazarus in his death, he is surely weeping at the feet of the Almighty for your life. John 3:16 tells us that God loved every human being so much that He sent His only son, Jesus, to be a living sacrifice for us once and for all time. Does that sound like a God who doesn’t want your hurt to be healed?</p>
<p>God stands ready at the door of your heart to come in and change your life. There is one thing that you need to know: God is not like any man, woman or child that you have ever met. Even the most loving person in your life will let you down. It may not be their intention but it is human nature. God is not a man. He will never lie to you or make a promise to you that He doesn’t intend to keep. It’s time for you to hear God’s message of healing for your life.</p>
<p><strong>Read the following verses:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>The faithful love of the Lord never ends!<br />
His mercies never cease.<br />
23Great is his faithfulness;<br />
his mercies begin afresh each morning.</em></p>
<p><strong>-Lamentations 3:22-23</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>God desires to sustain you with His love. It is an everlasting love that no man or woman can understand. You have to accept it on faith. Remember the faith you had as a child? That same childlike faith is what God works through to heal your heart, mind and soul.</p>
<p>This is not just a promise for the believer but the non-believer as well. It is human nature to hold onto pain and try to rationalize how you feel about it. God says to cast the burden of that hurt on Him. Pray right now, wherever you are for God to heal every part of you from the pain that you are experiencing. Let Him be your strength.</p>
<p><strong>Additional Scriptures:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>To all who mourn in Israel,<br />
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,<br />
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,<br />
festive praise instead of despair.<br />
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks<br />
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.</em></p>
<p>-Isaiah 61:3</p>
<p><em>But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.<br />
They will soar high on wings like eagles.<br />
They will run and not grow weary.<br />
They will walk and not faint.</em></p>
<p>-Isaiah 40:31</p></blockquote>

<p>God bless you, Dear Mothers of the world!  Whether you have given birth or have assumed the role of mother in some other way, know that you are loved and honored for everything you have done and continue to do in our lives by nurturing, loving and caring for your children and all of God&#8217;s children.</p>
<p>Sometimes it may be difficult to believe that you are so exalted.  Your children may take you for granted, society values your achievements in the workforce more than what you do at home, and even your husband may neglect to thank you.  But God never forgets!  He knows that you love unconditionally, encourage against all odds, believe in your children when no one else does.  The Lord sees that you support us, listen to us, pray for us.</p>
<p>You shape us, correct us, and lead us in the right paths.  In fact, you are the closest thing there is to Jesus&#8217; pure love on earth!  No one else sacrifices as much, or as willingly, as a Mother does for her child.  She will go to the ends of the earth, fight the powers of this world, and willingly die for her child.  She is a living example of Jesus&#8217; sacrificial love every day.</p>
<p>Think of Mary, the Mother of God.  She knew her son would sacrifice Himself for the world, yet she did not try to stop Him.  Instead, she sat at the foot of the cross when He was crucified, mourning His suffering, yet never leaving Him.  Mothers will stand by their children to the end, even when they know they cannot change the ending.  Why?  Because the love of a Mother, like the love of God, is infinite in its depth and passion.  In fact, Jesus loved His earthly mother so much that He told His disciples to look out for her after He was gone:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother, his mother&#8217;s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus saw His mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, he said to His mother, &#8220;Dear woman, here is your son,&#8221; and to the disciple, &#8220;Her is your mother.&#8221;</em></p>
<p align="right"><em> &#8211; John 19:25-27</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>In most families, Mothers are the &#8220;keeper of the gates,&#8221; they give us our religious instruction and guide us on the path to God.  Mothers teach us to say our bedtime prayers when we are little children.  They take us to church each Sunday and show us by their example how to lead Christian lives.  Perhaps Mothers do this because they are uniquely qualified to understand the nature of God&#8217;s sacrificial love.  They live that kind of love each and every day &#8211; sacrificing their own lives for their children in countless ways.</p>
<p>God is all-powerful and perfect in His wisdom &#8211; and He determined that life should be created out of women.  Without Mothers, life could not go on.  He knew before the beginning of time that no one was better suited to the role than women, with their tender hearts and strong souls.  Think of the powerful force your mother has been in your own life, and thank the Lord for mothers!</p>
<p>For those who are Mothers, we give our thanks knowing there is no expiration date on your jobs.  Words can&#8217;t express how much we love and honor you.  May God continue to bless you as you have blessed us!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who reveres the Lord will be praised.&#8221;</em></p>
<p align="right"><em>- Proverbs 31:30</em></p>
