"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward" (Psalm 127:3). "Then came the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshiping Him, and desiring a certain thing. And He said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on Thy right hand, and the other on the left in Thy kingdom" (Matthew 20:20,21).
(Note that James and John, this mother's "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17), were among the three that our Lord drew especially close to Himself throughout His ministry.)
Behold the children that God gives:
They're heaven's precious treasure.
For them our Savior died and lives,
This is their valued measure.
Pray that children of the womb
Be children born again;
Guide them to the empty tomb
Where Jesus rose again.
Petition God to keep them close
And live for Him each day.
Our Savior heeds the prayer of those
Who pray to Him that way.
