Lessons from the Dream-job : Pre-Conceived Children

By GDW

One of the greatest things about the relationship between our Heavenly Father and us, is that He knew us before the foundations of the earth. We aren't an accident of his design. We aren't an after-thought. And because of this He desires that as parents we also plan and consider our kids before we have them.

The best compliment we could give to our kids is that we thought of them before we could conceive them. Years before I had a chance to have him I thought of (imagined) my son Waiambun. I imagined the fun I'd have with him, the methods I'd use to teach and discipline him. My son (and Lord willing, his siblings) would grow up knowing that I brainstormed—and even settled on some—names for them years before they were born.

Whilst we dont have the capacity to foreknow our kids, we can at least consider the time to have them, who to have them with, and how we'd raise them. So that one day we can genuinely tell them that they were on our minds before they were in their mother's womb. That they were pre-conceived...

And that they are a deliberate result of their parents' love, rather than an accident of lust.

Heavenise day!
