‘The Gift I’ll Give’ Touching Mother’s Day Tribute

One young woman performed a beautiful song that honors and recognizes the most important women in our lives and their contributions.

Mothers play an important role in the family and in society. Women who are privileged enough to become mothers have a massive responsibility. They are literally giving birth to members of the next generation. A mother’s love, kindness and attentiveness to her children will shape and influence those kids for the rest of their lives. A mother’s importance cannot be overstated.

In the song “The Gift I’ll Give,” a talented young singer mentions that she has found the perfect way to honor her mother on Mother’s Day. Surprisingly, the lyrics state,  she approaches her mother with empty hands. 

There are no bows and ribbons to be found anywhere on this gift. Instead of buying and presenting something menial that will only bring momentary excitement, this gift will have an outsized influence. The singer states that she is going to reach out to someone in need.

They will be the face and hands of Jesus Christ for someone hurting. They will take that love, kindness and attentiveness that their mother displayed and taught them and show it to someone else.

“I will reach out my hand to someone in need
Be courageous and kind, like Jesus would be
I will build up my friends with words that I say
Be a light in my home every day”

Demonstrating Christ-like love for someone is a perfect and wonderful gift. Doing so could have widespread ramifications. Unexpected acts of kindness and love can change someone’s entire day, week, year or life. Any mother would be pleased to know they had a hand in raising someone who treated someone with such love, kindness and care. 

Showing Christ’s love to someone doesn’t cost anything, but it can literally mean a world of difference to an individual hurting.
