GIVING BIRTH TO THE SON OF MAN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Mary was traveling with Joseph to Bethlehem
She was due to give birth to the Son of Man
Can you imagine how she must have felt?
She was probably scared to give birth to her first.
While Joseph and Mary went to enlist in the census
The time came for the birth of Mary’s first child, Jesus
She was blessed among women to be the mother to Christ
Giving birth to the Savior is such a significant moment in her life.

If you are a mother, you will never forget your very first childbirth. I was twenty-seven years old when I gave birth to my one and only child. It was a mixed feeling of excitement and fear. I was a solo parent and scared and worried how I was going to bring up my son on my own. It was a tough experience because I only had a helper with me and I had to share a bed on a public hospital because the rooms were all full.
Can you imagine how Mary must have been through? As she looked at her baby, she was filled with joy and honor.

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? – John 14:1(NLT)
ROOM IN THE FATHER’S HOME
A poem and essay by ILMA
Don’t worry and don’t be troubled for you are covered
When you believe in Christ, he will bring you favors
There is more than enough room in the Father’s home
Thank God for he will never abandon you or let you roam.
Jesus prepares your room in his Father’s kingdom
Guard your hearts so you can walk in freedom
He is waiting for you to join him in eternity
Are you walking in love in order to have victory?

Have you ever been admitted to the hospital and waited for so long to be given a room in that situation? When I was in labor for my only child’s birth, the hospital was so full that I had to literally share a bed with someone, until there were enough room to accommodate us. It was the height of much sickness and women giving birth that time. I felt so insignificant and cried knowing that I was sharing not just a room but the bed as well. The bible tells us that there is more than enough room for those who love God in his kingdom.
