Here are 15 characteristics we can see from Scripture that a godly mother should possess. #1 A Godly Mother Will Seek Knowledge Proverbs 15:14 says, “The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.” This proverb can apply to anyone, but it is especially important for a mother.

Over the course of that relationship, it’s normal to feel a range of emotions, from anger and irritation to support and connection. There’s nothing worse than disrespectful children.
