Nascimento de bebê
Cada bebê que nasce é uma dádiva de Deus. A Bíblia celebra o nascimento como obra das mãos do Criador, que forma cada criança no ventre com amor e propósito.
Formados por Deus
Deus tece cada bebê no ventre materno. Antes mesmo de nascer, somos conhecidos e amados pelo Criador de todas as coisas.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and {that} my soul knoweth right well.15 My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.16 Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all {my members} were written; {during many} days were they fashioned, when {as yet} there was none of them.
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I hallowed thee, I appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother's breasts.
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, how the bones {grow} in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut {the womb}? saith thy God.
Bênção e presente
Os filhos são herança do Senhor. Cada bebê é uma boa dádiva que vem do alto, do Pai das luzes, motivo de alegria e gratidão.
3 Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, {and} the fruit of the womb a reward.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
27 For this boy I prayed; and Jehovah has granted me my petition which I asked of him.
21 A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
Acolher as crianças
Jesus acolheu as crianças e as abençoou. O Senhor ama cada pequenino e reserva para eles o Reino dos céus.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
16 And having taken them in his arms, having laid his hands on them, he blessed them.
