Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
Notice how children are described in this passage:
"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children are a reward from Him." (Psalm 127:3)
The Hebrew word for "heritage" literally means "property" or "possession." That is the noun form of the word. The verb form carries the idea of giving an assignment to someone. That puts children in a totally different light.
Children are the property of the Lord. They are not just born from below, but they are given from above. That means your children are really not your children. They are on loan to you. Your children really belong to God. They are His property in His possession. Do you understand what that really means? That means there is no such thing as an unwanted child and there is no such thing as an illegitimate child. God wants every child conceived in the womb to be allowed to be brought into this world, because every child has a legitimate purpose for living given by God himself.
