An Honest Mother's Day
You Are Chosen, You Have Purpose, You Are His | Mother's Day Identity Crisis
Mother's Day can be complicated. It's a day that can tell us we're loved and appreciated, but it can also remind us of what we lack - the mother we lost, the child we're longing for, the family we don't have. This honest Mother's Day message addresses the identity crisis many face on this day and anchors us in three unshakeable spiritual truths from Ephesians 1.
💔 The Honest Reality: This isn't a "tie a pretty bow on everyone's complexities" message. Instead, we're sitting in the tension of holding both our earthly reality (what we lack) and our spiritual reality (who God says we are) at the same time. Because that's where our hope lies.
📖 Three Spiritual Truths You Need to Know:
You Are CHOSEN - God chose you before the foundation of the world
You Have PURPOSE - You're set apart to be holy and blameless
You Are HIS - You've been adopted into God's family with full rights
🧠 Understanding Our Wiring: Why do we struggle to believe we matter to God when we don't feel we matter to people? We're neurologically wired to look for someone who is looking for us. We process identity through what we feel and experience, not just what we think and know.
🙏 Guided Prayer Experience: Includes a guided contemplative prayer to help you experience God's presence and hear Him say: "You are my son, you are my daughter. I love you so much. I could not be more pleased that you are on the earth."
💡 Hard Truths About Trauma and Purpose:
We can't shame ourselves for wanting to matter to people - we were created for community
Often our deepest ache holds our most powerful assignment
We don't have to rush to testify while we're still bleeding
Trauma can make us our own fiercest protectors, cutting us off from God's care
Living "recklessly" might mean trusting God instead of planning for pain

Anyone struggling with Mother's Day complexities
