During mother’s day, we remember all our mums who have been our motivating force as we continue living on this beautiful world. We owe everything to them especially the values that we personally own as we journey all throughout the years. Our mothers faithfully fulfilled their roles and responsibilities to their children without expecting something in return. Yet one mother who also serves as our model in everything is our beloved Mama Mary. Her fiat challenges us all to do the same daily in our life.
Throughout all these years, I have been motivated by this great love of Mama Mary for humankind. She never hesitated when she was invited to be the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. I know for sure that just like any human being, she also had her own dreams and inspirations in life however, when invited to take part in Jesus’ life, she readily said YES and without any conditions, she agreed to this plan.
In life, we have encountered situations wherein we as well were asked to make our choice and decision. For sure, as human as we are, our natural tendency is to consider first what are beneficial for us. It is only then when personal benefits are identified that we will start thinking of others. That goes with our natural tendency for self- preservation, our initial instinct is to consider things that we think as self preferable.
Yet in Mama Mary’s example, we are continuously invited to offer ourselves to God by nurturing day by day our personal relationship with Him disregarding personal benefits in the process. God has been so generous to us all giving us daily our needs like strength and perseverance. We only need to re affirm day by day our personal commitment to love Him and Mama Mary the more.
