Although [Christ Jesus] existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
This passage speaks so eloquently of the humility of Christ. As followers of him, we are to be emptied out for others, as he was. What better way to do that for some people than through motherhood! Mothers are constantly emptied out for others, their children. I pray that God will one day see fit to celebrate the choices of mothers who give so much to their children!
