TWELVE BIBLICAL REASONS WHY GOD WANTS TO GIVE US CHILDREN:
1. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU (Genesis 1:27-28; 9:1, 2, 7; Psalm 128:3-4 and loads of others). There is a whole chapter on these blessing Scriptures in the book, Be Fruitful and Multiply.
2. BECAUSE HIS FACE AND FAVOR IS TURNED TOWARD YOU (Leviticus 26:9).
3. BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU (Deuteronomy 7:13).
4. BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY AND COMPASSION TOWARD YOU (Deuteronomy 13:17).
5. BECAUSE HE REJOICES OVER YOU (Deuteronomy 28:63).
6. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DO YOU GOOD (Genesis 32:12; Deuteronomy 28:6; and 30:5).
7. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO HONOR YOU (1 Chronicles 25:4-5 and Psalm 127:5).
8. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO ABUNDANTLY PROSPER YOU (Deuteronomy 28:11).
9. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO REWARD YOU (Psalm 127:3).
10. BECAUSE OF HIS LOVINGKINDNESS TOWARD YOU (Psalm 107:41-43).
11. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU JOY AND GLADNESS (Psalm 113:9; 127:5; and Luke 1:13-14).
12. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO FILL THE EARTH WITH HIS IMAGE--AND FILL ETERNITY (Genesis 1:28; Malachi 2:15 and loads of others).

P.S. This gorgeous picture is of newborn Jackson Lingo, firstborn son of Jake and Renee Lingo, friends of ours. Isn't he so chubby, cuddly, and gorgeous? What could be more wonderful and miraculous than a newborn baby?
