Not just for mothers
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: In this sermon, the speaker reflects on the love of mothers and how it exemplifies the love of God. He believes that God encompasses both masculine and feminine energies and that motherhood is the ultimate sacrifice. The speaker shares a personal encounter with an African-American mother and her two children, whom he describes as lionesses protecting their children in a dangerous world. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of taking care of adolescents, especially in these times where they are vulnerable to harm. The church is called to give generously to support this cause.
The speaker talks about a woman named Rispa who protected the bodies of her dead children from birds of prey for days. He compares her fierce love to the love of mothers fighting for their children in different cities, neighborhoods, and countries. He encourages the church to become like a lioness and fight against the devil trying to take control of the lives of their children. He blesses those mothers and teenagers and declares victory in the name of Jesus.

This morning I just want to take a few minutes to focus on what we're doing and remember this is a day that we choose to honor our mothers, and I hope it's not the only day that we honor our mothers, we have to express love and appreciation, and value our mothers every day of the year, our wives, show them love and appreciation for everything they do.
And when I think of our mothers, I think that they exemplify the most select of feelings that humanity can reflect, above all the love of God. The Bible over and over again compares the love of a mother to the love of God, and many times the word uses the love of a mother to illustrate the love of God. In fact, I have always believed that God, not in the sense that God is man and woman, but I believe that these two energies are enclosed in God, the masculine energy that we associate with men, and the energy that we associate with women. We associate that aggressive energy with man, that goes forward, that energy that watches over, not many things like that, which we associate in general terms, because they are all generalities.
