Encouragement for Young Moms
Lord, I want to do great things for you,
And speak to all the nations!
The Lord replies:
That’s well and good,
But for now fix your children’s
complications.
Lord, I want to straighten up the world,
Feed the hungry and fulfill someone’s
wishes!
The Lord says:
Fine, but for the present, you need to wash
the dishes.
Lord, I want to preach, proclaim your name
And bring salvation to the earth!
God says:
Good! Then teach your children
And preach my name to those you’ve given
birth.
At the end of the day, I think of all I’ve
done.
But as I look it seems, I’ve accomplished
nothing for the Son!
Lord, I had no time to witness one on one,
I couldn’t join my church group,
They said I missed out on lots of fun.
My household is the only thing that managed
to be cleaned.
My neighbor is the only one, besides my
family I could feed.
The only ones I’ve read your Word are those
within my home.
Lord, I’ve done so very little
And I feel so all alone!
The Lord says:
I’ve seen the way you cleaned and cooked
and taught you kids My name.
Tomorrow morning at eight o’clock,
I’ll watch you do the same.
The work you do at home though no one
really sees,
Is helping to raise little ones to grow and
worship me.
My ways are not your ways, I don’t expect
you yet to see,
But the precepts that you’ve taught your
children,
Will help others bow the knee.
Your children will reach out to others,
Your example in their mind.
They’ll do great work for Me.
And their children will respond in kind.
The hand that rules the world also rocks
the cradle.
Because of you, your children love Me, all
their hearts are stable.
Though your house is your domain, your
tasks seem rather plain,
Your efforts will reach the multitudes,
though from humble work they came.
