Maternal Instinct…
Where does instinct come from? In Job 38:36, the Lord challenges Job by asking, “Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?” He is clearly asking a rhetorical question here because God is.
Whether you are a biological mother, adoptive mother, or friends of others who have children…that mothers instinct sets in when you see a baby/child staring back at you. Then they smile…and for some reason…you smile back. Maybe even talk to them, try to make them laugh; play with them.
We all were once children, and are still children of the risen King. As we go throughout this Mother’s Day week, cherish the smiles of those around you, share kind words of encouragement, and brighten the day of others that may keep to themselves. Everyone is going through or has been through something.
