THE STRENGTH AND LOVE OF MOTHERS
On this Mother’s Day 2025, we reflect on the strength and love of mothers through the story of Naomi, a woman in the Bible who faced deep loss but continued to show courage and faith. Naomi lost her husband and two sons, leaving her with two daughters-in-law and no clear future. Despite her sorrow, she carried on, showing the quiet strength so many mothers have: The ability to keep going even when life is hard.
Naomi encouraged her daughters-in-law to return home to find happiness, putting their needs before her own. Ruth, however, chose to stay with Naomi, moved by the life and faith Naomi had modelled. Later, Naomi helped guide Ruth to a new beginning with Boaz, and eventually became a grandmother to Obed, the grandfather of King David.
Naomi’s story reminds us that even in seasons of grief and uncertainty, God can restore and use our lives in powerful ways. Just like Naomi, mothers today leave a lasting legacy, not only through what they say but through how they live. I acknowledge and thank every mother for the continuous commitment to the well-being and growth of their families.
Whether you are a mother, grandmother, or mentor, your love, sacrifices, and faith shape the future. Your story and the difference you make matter -and it is not over yet.
Ngalolu-suku loMama lonyaka wezi-2025, sijulisa imicabango yethu emandleni nasothandweni lomama sithathisela odabeni lukaNawomi, owesifazane waseBhayibhelini owabhekana nokulahlekelwa ngendlela ebuhlungu kodwa waqhubeka ebonisa isibindi nokholo. UNawomi washonelwa umyeni wakhe namadodana akhe amabili. Washiyeka nawomalokazana ababili futhi engenalo ingomuso elicacile. Naphezu kosizi lwakhe, waqhubeka, ebonisa amandla ngendlela engenamsindo, okungamandla omama abaningi abasibonisa wona: Ikhono lokuqhubeka ngisho nalapho ukuphila kunzima.
UNawomi wakhuthaza omalokazana bakhe ukuba babuyele emakhaya abo ukuze bathole injabulo. Loku kwakubonisa ukuthi wayebeka izidingo zabo ngaphezu kwezakhe. URuthe, nokho, wakhetha ukuhlala noNawomi, ngenxa yokukhangwa yimpilo nokholo olwaluboniswa uNawomi. Kamuva, uNawomi wamsiza uRuthe ngokumeluleka lapho eqala impilo entsha noBowazi, futhi ekugcineni waba ngugogo ka-Obede, umkhulu weNkosi uDavide.
Indaba kaNawomi isikhumbuza ukuthi ngisho nasezikhathini zosizi nokungabi nokuqiniseka, uNkulunkulu angabuyisela futhi asebenzise izimpilo zethu ngezindlela ezinamandla. NjengoNawomi, omama namuhla basishiyela imizekeloemihle ehlala ikhona njalo, hhayi nje kuphela ngalokho abakushoyo kodwa nangendlela abaphila ngayo. Ngiyabahalalisela futhi ngibonga bonke omama ngokuzibophezela kwabo kwihlalakahle nasekukhuleni kwemindeni yabo okuyinto ehlal iqhubeka.

"Sustaining the Fire" means staying passionate and committed to the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Just like a fire needs fuel to keep going, we need to continually feed our spiritual lives with prayer, worship, reading the Word, and walking in obedience to God. The Holy Spirit's fire represents His power, guidance, and presence, which keep us spiritually alive, strong, and effective. When we keep this fire burning, we stay connected to God, energized for His purpose, and ready to impact the world with His love and truth. “Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord.” Romans 12:11 (NIRV)
