But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all those ladies who’ve reared children of their own, through adoption, or just out of the love of your heart. Love is one of the finest ingredients a mother can give to her child and truthfully it comes natural for most women. Nothing like a mother’s love, as I today still carry the memories and special moments shared with my mother.

 

One thing I think many ladies battle is being “good enough”, loving their children enough, or simply living life in a manner worthy of being a good mother. In today’s world, with all of the business of life, working a successful career, raising a family and trying to meet all the demands of life’s responsibilities can be exhausting; leaving one to question if they’ve done their best.

 

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.” John 6:35

 

Your quest to “have it all together” will always fall short by the standards you place upon yourself. Just like the lady at the well who searched for perfect love, your quest to fulfill all those responsibilities will leave you coming back to the well seeking other’s approval and personal fulfillment.

 

The verse above gives you the best advice for complete satisfaction; come to Jesus with your life’s duties, desires and purpose and He will supply all of your needs and develop in you an inner source of strength that will be like a fountain, springing up inside you for all eternity. On your own, you will never be enough, but with Jesus, your heart will be full and your children will be blessed for the fulfillment of your duties as a mother. God bless!
