God cares about mothers. There are many examples in the Bible of strong women who served God and followed His will for their lives. These women were honored for their courage and faith by having their stories recorded in God's written Word. And many of them were included in the royal lineage of Jesus. There's much we can learn from them.
God knows the desires of your heart and wants to comfort you when times are hard. When you seek spiritual growth, scriptures about mothers provide you with powerful lessons that lead back to the Father. You are valued, loved, and play an eternally important role in the life of your family and the Kingdom of God.

Hagar was an Egyptian slave living in the household of Abraham and Sarah. Sarah was unable to have children, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She gave Hagar to Abraham so that through her he might be able to continue his line and have a child.
