Sharing photos from yesterday’s birthday celebration on Instagram, the award-winning singer described Jamil as her “most handsome best friend” and reflected on how motherhood has transformed her understanding of unconditional love and faith.
Tiwa revealed that raising her son has given her a deeper appreciation of God’s love, explaining that the way she worries about, protects, forgives, and believes in Jamil mirrors, in a small way, the boundless love God has for His children.
“Guys, being mama Jam Jam has taught me more about God’s love than I ever imagined,” she wrote. “If I can love my son this deeply as an imperfect human being, how much more does our perfect Heavenly Father love us?”
