GOD WALKS INTO ETERNITY CREATING
"There are few more dizzying realities of life than cooperating with God to produce another human being. This aspect of the marital experience should be particularly meaningful for Christians (and a key reason why having difficulty conceiving can be so painful to so many couples). The picture of God as Creator is central to his authority, identity, and purpose. In fact, the Bible is framed around the fact that God is Creator.

"The first thing we learn about God in the book of Genesis is that he created the heavens and the earth (see Genesis 1:1); the last image of the New Testament shows God creating a new heaven and a new earth. When God says, 'I am making everything new!' (Revelation 21:5), the word 'making' is in the present tense -- it's an ongoing process. God walks into eternity creating."
