A Mother That Caught Jesus Attention
A Mother of great faith whose desperation lead to her determination resulting in God seeing faith in a woman who was not even a Jew. She was willing to be humilated in hopes for her daughter to be helaed. Sometimes we need to all take a moment of pause to appreciate the unique love of a mother who is willing to endure humilation for restoration of their child.
Introduction:
A MAN walked into a flower shop on Mother’s Day. He said, “What can I get for three dollars?”
The proprietor replied, “I can give you a dozen carnations, or I can give you one rose.”
He says, “You mean I can get a dozen carnations for three dollars, but only one rose? How come the roses are just so expensive?”
“Oh, real simple. The scent of a carnation doesn’t last very long. It’s sweet for a moment, but it has no longevity. On the other hand, a rose is known for its ongoing scent. Even when you think it’s dead, it can be crushed, turned into potpourri, and the smell can still continue.”
Women are roses. They are valuable. However, to reject being God’s kind of woman is to cheapen your worth. An ungodly woman can be found for a dime a dozen. Ladies, you are roses, you’re expensive. But to reject being God’s kind of woman, you can get them a dime a dozen.
