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.

9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones are joined together in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the works of God, who is the maker of all.
9 Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord 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.

21 A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
