Over the weekend, I took my children to a funfair to play on some rides. As the rides took them up, I could hear their lovely shrieks and saw their esctatic faces beaming with smiles and joy. At that moment, I remembered how over the past year, we could not enjoy such amusement because of COVID-19. I was filled with gratitude and thankful for being a father to these children and being able to give them such pleasures.

Right at that moment, I sensed God said these words to me: the way you felt about your children is tiny compared to how I feel about you. I love to give you pleasures. I love to see you happy and ecstatic and joyful. It was a most surreal moment for me. The Holy Spirit at that instant led me to the Psalms below:

“The same way a loving father feels toward his children— that’s but a sample of your tender feelings toward us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you.”

Psalms 103:13 TPT

As I studied this verse, I realised that the Hebrew word for “tender feelings” is the word “racham” and that word is a homonym for “womb”. The Holy Spirit says these to me: No woman ever detest the child in her womb. When a woman is pregnant especially with a child she wants, she cares for that child and she has a deep affection for that child. This is the way I feel about you.

So, I am saying this to you that: No woman ever detest the child in her womb. When a woman is pregnant especially with a child she wants, she cares for that child and she has a deep affection for that child. This is the way God feels about you. He carries you in His womb - and that is the Secret Place of the Most High.
