God doth not give Children but he gives himself; and is not he better than ten Sons (as Elkanah said of himself; to Hannah, 1 Sam. 1.8.?) There is a better name, than that of Sons and Daughters (promised, Isa. 56.3.4.) they who have that better name have no reason to murmur because they have not that which is worse. They who have God for their Father in heaven may well be content to go childless here on earth. |
