To Be a Mother Is a Call to Suffer: Facing Life's Bitter Providences

Mothers suffer when their children are born. Mothers suffer when their children are foolish. Mothers suffer when children leave them and go to the mission field. Mothers suffer when their children die. To be a mother is a call to suffer. Is this the way God ordained it to be? Does God have good purposes in the pain that others inflict on us? Or are these pains outside of the providence of God? This memorable sermon shows why mothers (and the rest of us) must take great comfort in the sovereign goodness of God in the setbacks, disappointments, calamities, and bitter providences that they suffer.
