From Selfish to Selfless: A Journey into Motherhood with God’s Grace

Becoming a mother is one of the most sacred transformations a woman can experience. From the very beginning, when that tiny heartbeat becomes part of your own, something shifts deep within. Suddenly, life is no longer just about you—your plans, your preferences, your comfort. It becomes about someone else entirely. Someone God has entrusted to your care.

I won’t pretend the change is always easy. There are sleepless nights, tired mornings, and days when you feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself. But here’s the beautiful truth: in that losing, you begin to find something even greater. You find purpose. You find grace. You find strength you didn’t know you had.

Motherhood has a way of tenderly stretching your heart, teaching you to serve without expecting anything in return. It transforms selfishness into selflessness—not through guilt or duty, but through love. A love that mirrors Christ’s love for us: patient, forgiving, unwavering.

If you’re not a mother yet, know this—your life is already full of value, meaning, and purpose in Christ. But if God does lead you into motherhood, don’t be afraid. It’s not the end of your story; it’s a deeper beginning. A refining journey where you’ll see more of who God is, and more of who He’s made you to be.

So to every woman—whether you’re holding a child in your arms or holding onto hope in your heart—know that God sees you. He is with you. And if He calls you into motherhood, He will equip you with all the love, strength, and mercy you need.

Motherhood doesn’t take your life away—it multiplies it.
