“Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.”
– John 16:21

Thank you, God, for getting me through the pain. Make something great out of it.
Reflection
What birthing pains are you going through?
One Response
Dear Bobby and Hannah,
you have no idea just how timely this word is! I thank God for you both always, as His Spirit works His grace and peace and glory though you both into my life.
My marriage and family has been broken into pieces through those very birth pains you’ve just spoken of. Only now through your words, do I recognise that that’s what they are! For me the birth pains have been nearly 37 years but now I can tell you that I await the re-birth of my daughter, aged 49.
Astoundingly, after reading your words, I felt that initial excitement I had the first time; the excitement of being the mother of a child – this child! That was the shadow, this re-birth is the substance.
Bless you both, also all your staff and ministry team around the world and again, thank you.
