“Don’t be afraid.” God said to Abraham. “I will protect you and reward you greatly.” “You have given me everything I could ask for, except children,” Abraham replied. “And, because I have no children, my servant, Eliezer will receive everything, when I die.” “No, he won’t,” the Lord replied. “You will have a son; and he will receive everything. Look up! Can you count the stars? That’s how many descendants you will have.” [Reflection based on the Bible Reference Genesis 15:1-6]
