Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has shared heartwarming photos from her son Jamal Balogun's 11th birthday celebration with his friends. The proud mother took to social media to reflect on her journey as a mum and the profound lessons motherhood has taught her.

Tiwa described Jamal as her most handsome best friend and greatest blessing, noting that being his mother has deepened her understanding of God's love in ways she never imagined. She spoke about the depth of her feelings for him, including her desire to protect, forgive, and believe in him, even to the point of giving her own life for him.

She drew a parallel between her love for her son and God's love for humanity, explaining that if she can love Jamal so deeply as an imperfect human, how much more does God love His children? She celebrated Jamal's growth and expressed her gratitude for the privilege of watching him grow.

She wrote:
"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."
