In God's eyes, having children is a huge blessing and gift.
Ps 127:3

Satanic Deception
We must always remember that Satan is a MASTER of deception. The most effective deceptions are the least obvious. Only the Word of God is able to shine light on them to reveal their insidiousness.

"God's Way Or The Highway"
Turn to God and His Word with a humble heart and find truth and freedom,…
or arrogantly ignore His Word and inevitably live in deception and lies and slavery.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary
"Insidious"
- awaiting a chance to entrap : treacherous
- harmful but enticing : seductive

May we never forget how gentle and patient God is with us as we go on this journey with Him.

Part of Satan's deceptions is to keep us from the love of God.

The more we believe in God's love and how unfailing it is towards His children, the less we will have any fears in this life. 1 Jn 4:15-19

Thank you for showing us the perfect goodness of Your love, Lord! As perfect as the perfect love of a perfect Father!!

Deliverance From Deception
Only the Word of God is able to shine light on deception. We are not shrewd enough to see it by ourselves.

Perspective Is Everything
If you lack it, you lack divine viewpoint. If you’re “standing on your head”, the world is upside-down to you, making it really hard to make any sense of it.

Pr 13:20
He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Don't listen to their skewed perspectives in the world, but patiently endure and hold fast to My Word. Rev 2 & 3

The “Everyone’s A Victim” Lie
Satan has done a great job at convincing the world that personal responsibility is a lie. What rightly ought to be attributed to individuals is now spread across communities. Individuals are no longer to blame, sin itself eluded.

God Says, “Own it!”
Sin is accounted to individuals. If you sin, it’s your sin, not anyone else’s. If you miss out on God’s blessings as a result, it’s your fault, not anyone else’s (e.g., not your dysfunctional family’s).

The Phantom Owner Of Sin
Sin is accounted to individuals, so says Holy Scripture. When a sinner says, “It’s not my fault I sin,” they are attempting to evade personal responsibility by placing it on a phantom owner (e.g., society, parents, abusers, etc.).

Root Causes
The root cause for evil is lack of good. Better yet, the root cause is a rejection of good - Christ, the Good Shepherd. Those without Him are rudderless. (Eph 4:14-16; Lk 20:21-26)
