There's not an answer on here for this question. I don't know except He said go bear fruit and multiply. I chose not to have children.

Interesting question, Aaron. I first wondered whether you are married or not. "Children are a reward from the Lord," but it would be much better for all involved if marriage was established first. That is an institution of the Lord. Secondly, if you feel you are not up to parenting, as parenting is a daunting task, discuss it with your spouse, and of course, ask the Lord. He may not make it possible for you or your spouse to have children. But then, the Lord could and often does strengthen parents to rear children. He did in my daughter's case.
