Subject: Why are some gifts of God not wanted? |
Bible Note: Brother Bowler, Thanks for your Q. As I get closer to old age (I'm 62) I find myself reflecting on my life. One of my regrets is that I used contraceptives,which seemed sensible at the time...but now breaks my heart. Ps 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. IN RETOSPECT I was a fool! I traded the Gifts of God for material security. If you are planning your family, please do not spurn any of His gifts or rewards. Hopalong |
