that's the amazing thing about this desire to have children of our own....it doesn't matter if we don't have any previous experience. Even teenagers have children.
This desire in me is so strong it doesn't matter that we have been unsuccessful for 5 years, or that we lost a child, or that we were told I would never be able to conceive. We still kept trying because I felt like the LORD kept opening a window for us, and giving us hope to persevere.
It's weird because I have held my nieces and nephews and immediately I know I have no idea what i'm doing. I loved them as much as I would my own. I know this because I didn't think twice about changing their dirty nappies. But I can't cope with other people's babies.
I've never really been into 'babies' like some women are. They go all gooey just at the sight of a baby.
Yet this hasn't put me off. I still want children. I have this desire to shower them with love. Even if I prove useless or they end up being brats. I am more than willing to take the risk.
That must be what it's like for the LORD. Except worse for him because he knows for sure some of us will be children from hell. No matter how many opportunities he gives them to change he knows that in the end they will reject him. Imagine knowing a child would grow up one day to be Hitler. That's a scary thought.
