As I was reading my bible the other day I came across some very good biblical wisdom from the apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians. I read, and reflected, on this infinite wisdom and I couldn't help but think/pray for our unborn child. I just sit back and imagine all that life has to offer our 'soon to be born' baby and it overwhelms me. Here is what it says in Ephesians 3:14-19...
"When I think of all this (God's mysterious plans and the inheritance for all of HIS children), I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower **you** with inner strength through His spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your heart as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."
What more could I ask for for my child? My deepest desire is to raise God-fearing, God-loving, God-knowing children. I pray that God begins working in our children even now before they enter the physical world... and I pray that he equips us with the tools we need to be strong christian parents (examples).
What am amazing opportunity for all of us to reflect on our spiritual growth... through the precious eyes of a child.
