The crying out of a mother's heart...

My precious children,
My love for you knows no boundaries. It isn't based on what you do or don't do, right or wrong, mistakes or accomplishments. My love for you is unconditional. It is from God who's love knows no limits. My love for you will never change or lack.
When you were little I tried to teach you right from wrong. I tried to keep you safe. I tried to keep you from falling and getting hurt. I tried to teach you about choices and consequences. But you have reached an age where I can't protect you all the time. You will have to make some difficult choices over the next few years and all I can do is pray for you and hope that I have done a good job as your mother. I can't take away the natural consequences for the choices you make. I can't prevent you from ever being hurt. But I promise to love you regardless of the choices you make. I will love you thru pain and sorrow, thru happiness and success, thru good times and bad. When you fall down I will try to pick you up if I can but please know that it might not always be possible for me to do that, even if I want to. But that doesn't mean that I don't love you. I do love you and I wish you would never fall down. But we all fall down. When we fall down it's when we learn who we really are. We learn that God is always there to lift us up. We find out who truly loves us. We see that we can do all things thru Christ. We learn that He is our strength.
I pray that God will hear the pleas of a mother's heart who longs to protect her children from a cruel, dark world. But I also pray that God will make you a light that will shine for Him in this darkness. I pray that you will know and accept that I love you with all my heart and nothing will ever change that. No matter what happens or where life takes you, God & I will love you unconditionally!
