There are a few things that God didn’t tell you when you were born—or even ask your permission to do! Stay with me on this wry look at an imaginary scene in heaven.
Suppose the Father had seated you on His loving knee and asked if you wanted to help Him out with a little rescue campaign He was operating on planet Earth (I know that nobody is in heaven before they’re born—just play along). You might have said OK, until He began to explain it to you…
“Dearest Child of Mine,
1) You will be born without even knowing I exist, much less that I love you as fully as I do.
2) You will be born with a sin nature you won’t be able to get rid of and which will cause you all kinds of problems (What’s that? you wonder…).
3) Your parents will have a sin nature and may sin against you even in ways they won’t want to, sometimes in ways they won’t even be aware of.
4) You will even begin to sin against Me. (No, heaven forbid! you cry out!)
5) You will have to wait for other people who didn’t know Me either, to come and tell you about Me and what I did for you through Jesus.
6) Otherwise, if they don’t come to you, your sins and separation would take you to hell.
7) You will have a very hard time believing them at first.
8) Oh and by the way, there will be legions of the evil one who hate you, will attack you relentlessly and will be invisible to you—and yet you won’t really know much about them or believe they are even there until you get to know Me again.”
What would you say to being born under these circumstances?
So take a deep breath and realize that God knows what you have been up against and what He has to do to help you overcome it!

know let me tell you a story. Faith or no faith, different religion or same. I find this all so very false.
When my son was born I was in awe. One of those parents who just stare at their child. Anyways as he was sleeping he had one of those big toothless grins and what sounded like a laugh. Both baffled and excited I told the nurse, “my son just smiled!” Of course as professional and medically speaking as she could explained to me “babies can’t smile at this age they arnt capable of those emotions yet” and walked out. Stunned and a little hurt by what she said I even more watched my son, sleep or space off. As the stages he grew through he smiled and reached for someone or something.
Now tell me this. Babies no nothing of heaven or God, to whom are they smiling at. To whom do they reach for.
I’ve asked those who are religious and believe. They simply smile at Angels.
To me, angles are from heaven. Thus they know of heaven and God.
Ps. I find your blog boogus and religiously incorrect.
Hi Anna,
Jesus Himself said that the “pure in heart” would/could “see God”. From this I don’t doubt that babies would be able to see angles should the Lord desire to reveal them. When our own kids were babies we were told that their smiles were just gas. I didn’t believe it either!
I have always thought that a newborns smile was from the kisses of Angels . When they reach in the air , I think an Angel is laying the baby down. Just saying, Angels stay with newborns until they are safely in their Mother’s arms.
