This is a very helpful post. As I prayed much over this very thing, I have come to the conclusion that the miracle and the glory are in the creation. The fact that this soul was created, whether it’s a baby that lives an hour, a baby that dies in the womb, a young child, etc…the blessing and the joy are in the creation in the first place, and in the absolute mercy and gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus. I know that the (saved) parents of all these babies and young children will definitely see them in heaven. The fact they will all be together forever in heaven, in paradise, is such a gift, even though they suffered greatly on earth in losing a loved one. I can only imagine the immense joy they will have when seeing their beloved again! Or meeting a baby they lost to a miscarriage.
Lord, we don’t understand Your ways, but we thank You that You love us and have faithful and merciful plans for us.
