Children are part of God’s creative plan.
God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. ... ’—Genesis 1:28 (NIV)
After creating Adam and Eve, God commanded that they be fruitful, or have children. The original design included families with children. Kids weren’t an afterthought. Everything about creation was pronounced good, including his design for children.
