I loved this!! Yes, it's so important not to idolize becoming a mother or idolizing anything for that matter lol. Also, to the barren women, being content in all things is great, but also know that God is full of miracles and will surprise you with a child. Both Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel and another story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1 and 2 were barren and God blessed them all. It seems as if God has forgotten about you, but know that God is faithful.
Yes adoption can be an option if it's one of your desires, but the Lord knows that a woman who is married and having children is a blessing.
Psalm 113:9 states, He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
No, the Lord may say not yet, and you've had many miscarriages but God is so faithful in his word and he will bless the fruit of your womb as he says in his word.
Exodus 23:6, No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
I know that God was directly speaking to the Israelites, but he was also talking amongst the strangers that the blessings are given to them too as it states in Exodus 12:49, One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.” Sorry for the ramble but I hope everyone will stay encouraged!! Blessings!!
