To all possessive mothers

Well, can I start by saying that I think i do boarder around being possessive and I am praying about it.

You will hear a lot of stories about mothers and how they are possessive of their children. My friends and I were discussing about this the other day and while it is an area of contention I must admit it is one those issues I am leaning to take to the Lord in prayer because I do not want to go overboard and worst of all, limit God’s move in the lives of our children because of my utter selfishness.

A friend once gave me a story of how her son was so sick for weeks and one day the Lord spoke to her heart and told her, ‘every time you pray for him, you say, God heal "my" son, I want you to say, God, please heal this your child” and the child was instantly healed. The issues was not the grammar, it was the mere lesson that, please remember, he is my son, my child, and you are only a steward.

Let’s think about it further, 

• David, young boy born of a woman for master’s use, served king Saul and latter become king
• Samuel, the mother had to let go after weaning for masters use
• Joseph, separated from family at 17 years of age for masters use
• Queen Esther – was an orphan, taken in my Mordecai, her uncle …for masters use 

Well, what I am saying is this, God uses men and women, this men and women are born by women. Now the women, who bear these little precious ones, must be careful to remember, these children first and foremost belong to the Lord. They are not ours to keep (What a hard truth!)…Pray that the Lord helps us mothers, not to abort Gods divine purpose for our children just because we cannot let go.

When we attended parenting class by navigators 4 years ago, the underlying message was "preparing our children to leave"…I hope you are preparing yours to leave…because they will…for masters use!!! Well, I am trying…help me Jesus!!!
