| God's thoughts towards having children |  |
One of the first things God did in the Garden of Eden was order Adam and Eve to "Be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). Children were very much in His thoughts at the beginning. And throughout the bible, His Word continues to reflect His heart and thoughts in regards to us having children.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.” Psalm 127:3-5

Jesus bore our sin and the curses of the law (which include barrenness) and sickness and death on the Cross of Calvary. Galatians 3:13 says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree". He has already won the victory for us!
He is truly wonderful. He is our counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and our Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
He was sent to heal the broken hearted, and to proclaim liberty, freedom, to the captives. He was sent to comfort all who mourn, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. (Isaiah 61:2-3)
May you find comfort, hope, strength, healing and victory in Him.
