"Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.” Martin Luther
“from generation to generation we will recount your praise.” Ps.79.13 ESV
Reproduction is fundamental to all living things. God created the living to pass on life. And, while physical children are one way we fulfill His mandate to be fruitful and multiply, spiritual children are just as significant, maybe more so. I know people who have no physical children but have hundreds of spiritual offspring. The influences of such people will bear fruit for generations. Jesus himself never took a bride in the traditional sense but His wedding will be the grandest of all. He never had any children but He has become the Father of nations. God may not give physical children to everyone, but may He give us all spiritual children and may our physical offspring, should we have any, be spiritual children as well. 5/26/2009 Conversations Within ts
