Infertility Encouragement from Sarah's LaughterSample

Infertiles in the Hands of a Passionate God

Read Hebrews 13:5-6.

What are you passionate about? The horrors of human trafficking? The injustices of child abuse? Family members you love? What causes you to speak with fire in your eyes and electricity in your voice?

Hear the passion in God’s voice when you read Hebrews 13:5-6. God’s passion is you. See the fire in His eyes as He promises He’ll never leave you or even relax His grip on you. He knows infertility hurts and can be overwhelming. He also knows every time you’ve wanted to give up on Him because you’ve felt like He’s abandoned you, or you’ve felt that His plan for your life is cruel. But He refuses to give up on you even then, for when we are faithless, He is faithful still. (2 Timothy 2:13)

How does it feel to know that God Almighty speaks so passionately about you? When infertility makes you feel so out of control, the God who controls the universe with nothing more than His words says to you, “I will in no way fail you or in any degree leave you helpless.” When you feel all alone because you are the only one left in your group of friends without a child, God says to you, “I will not, I will not, I will not leave you helpless or forsake you or let you down.”

When you fear your future—and have so many decisions regarding treatment, adoption, or the countless other issues infertile couples face—reread Hebrews 13:5-6. Every time. One day, you may discover that you've grown bold, confident, and fearless—knowing that an uncertain future with God on your side is not a scary future.
