"Children are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward." - Psalms 127:3
In God's Word, having children was a huge blessing and being barren was shameful. As a matter of fact, barrenness was even a punishment once when a woman was disobedient.
Life has always been precious to Christians. Throughout the Bible, children are always mentioned as such an extreme blessing. In contrast however, many heathen groups performed child sacrifices. For example, during Jonah's time, the people of Ninevah were very wicked and sacrificed their children, and consequently Jonah disobeyed God (and got swallowed by the fish) because he refused (at first) to go and tell the Ninevites to repent.
Christian mothers have a deep love given to them by God for their children.
If you want to be a better mother (or father) then ask Jesus into your heart and He will help you...
