The culture of mediocre motherhood will tell us that mom guilt is (take your pick) society’s, men’s, or our mom’s tool to control us and that we should ignore it because we are perfect just the way we are. The Bible tells us that “there is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:11), but despite that, nothing “can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus,” and we are “more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:37-39).
