A young daughter is hurt, by the words of her mother. She is often offended, and wounded by those words, as she keeps her thoughts and feelings to herself. Over the years she plans and plots her escape from her mother through her intra-conversations!
Those hurtful words are planted deep into her subconscious mind and like a virus they filter through the conscious and unconscious mind. Spreading deep roots that will one day affect her.
Mothers, when you find yourself saying, words to your daughter that you promised not to say to her as a child, yet you find those words coming out of your mouth, the virus is spreading!
Now the daughter is infected, by your virus words. God said, “As is the mother, so is her daughter.” (Ezekiel 16:44)
Mothers, we need to own our part in our daughter’s weaknesses. When you were a young woman, your daughter was watching you and she saw things you did, she still remembers! Now, that you are “Saved” and “Serving the Lord,” it seems that you’ve forgotten who you were, at her age.
When you were young doing your thing, you found yourself not listening to your mother, or any wise counsel. The Bible says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes. But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.” (Proverbs 12:15) I think we can all relate to that Bible verse. We have all played the role of a fool. In most cases being foolish brought us to Jesus!
Your daughter is still your little girl, no matter her age. She still needs your help in her struggles to understand life. You can help her avoid some of your trials and errors that you experienced.
In Titus 2:4, God said, “That they (women) may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.” He is depending on us to lead our daughters to Jesus for Salvation! God is counting on us, mothers to do that for Him.
Mothers, your secrets too, are viruses spreading through your daughter’s Soul! Now, that you are Saved, and have been cleansed of your own viruses, you have a responsibility to help rid your daughter of hers!
Remember, “As is the mother, so is her daughter.” (Ezekiel 16:44)
