This grace was so undeserved, but still given!John 1:15-16(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

John 1:17

Children are arrows to be shot into the world. Do not send out dull and broken arrows. But send out sharp arrows! Train your children to love and serve God. Send them out with the Sword of the Spirit and the full armor of God.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." - Psalm 127:3-5
