I delivered my first mothers day message yesterday at Clontarf Baptist Church. I didn’t head down the usual track of proclaiming how wonderful mothers are. Although motherhood is essential on planet earth…

I wanted to deliver a challenge.

Here is the gist of what I shared.
Mother is a WHAT. It is what I do, a job description, a role.
In the context of my “WHAT” God always has a bigger agenda, and that is my WHO.
WHO I am.
WHO am I?
A daughter of the King.
A disciple of Christ.
Jesus redefined the place of his own mother in Mark 3:20, when he called her to discipleship.

Jesus calls us, not to roles but to relationship. When surrendered and humble, our roles serve as a tool in the shaping of our character, our WHO.
