Understanding God's Role in Childbirth and Fertility

Chapter 1: The Misconception of Blaming God
Let’s clarify a common misconception: blaming God for infertility is misguided.
This topic, while often debated, is grounded in factual understanding rather than mere faith.
If someone struggles with infertility, it is not a reflection of God’s will. God embodies love, blessing all individuals regardless of their circumstances. Before dismissing this perspective, allow me to elaborate.
I want to stress that God is inherently good, devoid of any evil. He transcends religious boundaries; thus, one's faith—whether Christian or otherwise—does not impact the truth of His nature. According to the book of Genesis, God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. He has equipped humanity with all necessary resources for life, acting as a nurturing father. However, life can be challenging at times.
Now, let’s address the core issue: God does not directly control childbirth. Instead, He established a natural system in men and women that, when activated, allows for reproduction. Both male and female bodies possess reproductive systems designed by God, making it our responsibility to engage with these systems appropriately. If a couple is unable to conceive, it often indicates a medical issue that needs attention.
God is not cruel; He does not selectively grant children to some while withholding them from others. Just as the sun shines on both the righteous and the wicked, God loves all humanity equally.
Consider the tragic case of a young girl who becomes pregnant as a result of rape. It would be incorrect to attribute the conception of that child to God. Instead, it is a biological response to the circumstances of fertility on both sides.
While I acknowledge the possibility of divine miracles, where God may intervene to restore fertility, we must also consider the reality of congenital disabilities. Can we truly believe that God intentionally gives some parents healthy children while others receive those with deformities? Some children are born with disabilities, while others are not. God does not distribute misfortune and blessings unevenly; He is a loving and impartial father.
Ultimately, if you or someone you know is facing challenges in conceiving, I encourage seeking medical advice. There could be underlying issues affecting either partner's reproductive health. Regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle are crucial, as long-standing untreated infections can impact fertility. Understanding your body is essential, and we must advocate for the sanctity of life by avoiding unnecessary abortions.
Imagine if you had been aborted. Would you be here today? That lost potential life could have been any one of us, and we should be grateful for the love and responsibility shown by our parents.
Now, I invite my friend Dr. Shaw to share his insights on conception.

Chapter 2: The Role of Medical Support
In the video titled "God Doesn't Give Up on His Children Who Fall," David Wilkerson discusses the unwavering love of God for His children, even in times of struggle.
Similarly, in "God Doesn't Give Up on Children Who Fall," Wilkerson emphasizes that while challenges may arise, God's support is ever-present, guiding us through difficult moments.
