TWO THINGS GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU

Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.  Psalms 127:3


There is something you and I and everyone shares in common:
We were born. Whether planned or a surprise, from adultery or even rape, God says this about you: 


You are a heritage from the LORD; you a reward from him.


YOU ARE A HERITAGE FROM THE LORD.
When your father and mother leave this world, what they will leave behind is you.  You will be the reason your parents ever existed.  Their memory.  Their legacy.  Their eternity.


YOU ARE A REWARD FROM THE LORD.
I mentioned adultery and rape earlier.  How can children of these be considered a heritage or reward?  In these situations children are children.  They've committed no evil and are in no way evil.  They are the redeemers of evil fathers and mothers, if the father and mother will accept them as their redemption.  If a child comes from adultery or rape, the child can shame the sinful adults into repentance, and be the salvation of their parents. 


No matter the circumstances of your birth, God sees you as a gift and legacy, to your parents and the world.  It's good that you're here.  Be what God says you are.
