i dont know about you guys but I always hear christians saying that children are a gift from god.
if this is so, then wouldnt that mean that god gives gifts to unwed teenagers who have 1 night stands or arent even together and to people who dont want it. and yet u hear about all these couples who desperately want a child, and have faith in god, but one of them is sterile.
i dont get it, why is god giving gifts to people he deem immoral and sinful, but people who follow him dont necessarily get this gift.

No, no, no. That is God punishing the children for the sins of the father.
If the father has no children, God makes children.

Because He gives to who he wants. And any child is a blessing- And those who truly want a child but are not getting one, it may be a test of faith- those that do get one and don't want one it may be a test of love. Whatever the reason, it is turns out for the better- even though it does not seem like it- and this is for those who believe I mean- those who trust God despite their prayers being answered for a child, or becoming pregnant when they feel they are not ready. 1 Samuel 1 talks about how the Lord closed the womb of Hannah, but the Lord loved her and blessed her regardless...The Lord shut the womb of Rachel when Leah had been giving birth to sons for Jacob....because Leah was counted righteous to God- and then the Lord did open up Rache's womb later one when Rachel pleaded with the Lord to bless Jacob with children from her also. Whatever the outcome, every child is a blessing- and God wants us to raise them to love and honor Him- and of course many won't- but God has a will for everyone.

God doesn't reward immorality. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. At the risk of sounding redundant, sex causes babies. Life isn't fair. But God will see you through if you trust in Him.

Because God doesn't exist, of course.
