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 you formed my inward parts: You knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I will give thanks to you; because of your awesome works I am distinguished Wonderful are your works; And my soul knows that very well.15 My frame was not hidden from you, When I was made in secret, [And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16 Your eyes saw me developing from conception; And in your book they were all written, [Even] the days that were formed [for me] When as yet there was none of them.
5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
9 But you are he who took me out of the womb; You made me trust [when I was] on my mother's breasts.
5 As you don't know what the way of the wind is, [nor] how the bones [grow] in the womb of her who is pregnant; even so you don't know the work of God who does all.
9 Will I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says Yahweh: will I who cause to bring forth shut [the womb]? says your 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 Look, sons are a heritage of Yahweh; [And] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights [of heaven]; with whom there is neither shift in position, nor shadow that is cast by turning.
27 I prayed for this lad; and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him:
21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is 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 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight:
16 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
