Not a Promise but a Possibility

Children are a blessing
A heritage from the Lord
But they are not always promised
Even to those who belong to Jesus
Who have waited for God
To provide the help suitable
And have loved each other deeply
And have waited and prayed

But even though they are not promised
There is always a possibility
That joy will come in the morning
After a night of weeping
Proving beyond the shadow of a doubt
That the things which are impossible
According to the opinions of the world
Are possible with God

And every time a baby is born
It is a miracle
Because this life which before
Was just a possibility
Has now become an actuality
Known by God before even being formed
Made in the image and likeness of God
Knitted together in his mother's womb
Created in Christ to do good works
Loved by many who have yet to meet him
