Because of my age, will I die while my children are still young?
Many people are against older women having children because they say the woman will die and leave very young children without a mother. "With long life will I satisfy you and show you my salvation" (Psalms 91:16). You will still bear fruit in old age. You will stay fresh and green (Psalms 92:14). In all these Bible promises we get an idea of what God has for the older woman. He wants you to live to full old age and see your children's children. Forget what fear is saying and start listening to what God is saying to you today. Take His Word and let it bless you so that your life and your joy is full. For the Bible says, a child born in old age will do this for you: he will renew your life and sustain you in your old age (Ruth 4:15).
I am an older woman and I am not married, but I desire to have children. What does God have for me?
The Bible says at your age - the age at which you are now - God will satisfy your desire (Psalms 103:5). This Scripture is quite clear. If your desire is to be happily married and have children at the age you are now, then God is able. For our God promises to satisfy that desire. Our Lord Jesus Christ said to us, "Ask and you will receive." So all you need to do is ask of God what you desire. Ask God to bless you with one of his handsome sons with whom you can spend the rest of your life. God himself said, "It is not good for man/woman to be alone." Man did not say this, God Himself said it because He is the one who created us and knows our basic needs. God himself said that if you ask Him for bread He will not give you a stone. Today I want to encourage you to ask God to bless you with a home, a husband, and children, and if your heart's desire is sincere I know God will do it for you. Remember this Biblical promise: "No good thing will he withhold from those who love Him." Ask in faith and trust Him to be faithful to bless you. For the Bible says in Luke 1:36, "Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible with God." |
