(West Monroe, LA) — [The Gospel Herald] "Duck Dynasty" star Missy Robertson, wife of Jase Robertson, has revealed that motherhood has helped her understand God's love for her in a very real way — especially after watching her daughter, Mia, go through five surgeries over 10 years due to a cleft lip and palate.

In an interview the Daily-Journal just ahead of Mother's Day, Missy shared how her role as a mother parallels her Christian faith.

"Being a mother is wonderful," she said. "It's helped me understand my Father's love for me. Even though He lets us go through struggles, I understand more now that they help us grow in our dependence and gratitude for Him and His ultimate sacrifice. This life is not about me. It's about Jesus."

Missy, the daughter of a pastor, certainly speaks from personal experience: In 2003, Mia, the Robertsons' only daughter, was born with a cleft lip and palate, requiring numerous surgeries from the time she was just 3 months old. Mia's last surgery took place in 2015.
