God has always known all of us before we were born, and it is true for this new baby. God is with this child and his hand over its life.

Show this child what God’s love looks like through your words and actions, not just in the early days but all of your days.

Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.
Reflection
As if the preciousness of a baby isn’t apparent enough, we only need to remember that God Himself once took on the form of an innocent, humble baby.

Reflection
Remembering this verse is crucial for the success of any parent. There will be tough, scary, and long days. When in the midst of a sleep regression, temper tantrum, or even a diagnosis, remembering that God is not only with you and your child, but goes ahead of you. He is actually in the future. Living the truth of this Scripture can help bring peace and trust in times of uncertainty and difficulty that comes with any child.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Reflection
Jesus’ invitation here is to take whatever burden you have and replace it with His way of life. This way of life is filled with joy, love, faithfulness, goodness, self-control, peace, patience, kindness, and gentleness. The journey of being a parent is an adventurous one, exciting and a bit scary. But you are not alone with this newborn baby. You have the King of kings with you to help you with anything and everything. Amen to that reality!
