“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.” – Psalm 127: 3-4 So often I reflect upon the truth that my son, all our sons and daughters, have been created in Christ’s image. Each newborn is a beautiful image bearer that is designed in love, uniquely and with intention. As true as that statement is, it has allowed me to get into a rut of thinking that this is a completed process. That somehow from conception to birth, my little image bearer is perfect and ready to go. What an incomplete understanding that is.
