“In childbirth there is usually much pain, but when you look into the eyes of that precious child that God has entrusted to you, all the pain fades. The love you experience at that moment is the most intense you will ever experience. The birth of a church can also bring great pain, but just as the child grows and matures, this church (with God’s hand upon it) will too, and when you look back years from now there will be little memory of pain-only joy and a sense of fulfillment as you celebrate the work of our Heaven Father.”
