Award-winning singer Tiwa Savage has shared photos from her son, Jamal Balogun’s 11th birthday celebration with his friends.
Speaking on being a mum, Tiwa said motherhood has taught her more about God’s love than she ever imagined. She said she worries about him, celebrates him, protects him, forgives him, believes in him and would give anything, including her life, for him.
Wishing her son a happy 11th birthday, she described him as her greatest blessing, answered prayer, best friend, and expressed joy in watching him grow.
“Yesterday my most handsome best friend turned 11.
Guys, being Mama Jamjam has taught me more about God’s love than I ever imagined.
The way I worry about him, celebrate him, protect him, forgive him, and believe in him. The way I’d give anything (even my own life) for him. It made me stop and think: this sounds so familiar.
Because if I can love my son this deeply as an imperfect human being, how much more does our perfect Heavenly Father love us?
Maybe that’s why God calls us His children. Every hug, every prayer, every sacrifice, every moment of unconditional love I feel for Jamil is just a tiny reflection of the love God has always had for us.
Happy 11th birthday to my greatest blessing, my answered prayer, and my best friend. Watching you grow is one of the greatest privileges of my life.
I love you more than words will ever be able to say. And even that love is only a glimpse of how much God loves you, Jamjam”.
