If God designed such an intricate system to ensure that a human mother would tenderly observe her baby and respond to the infant's needs, doesn't it follow logically that God also takes a personal interest in us, as "the children of God"? (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., 2018, pp. 4-9)

Acts 17:29, “Therefore, since we are the children of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and design of humans.” (Acts 17:29, New World Translation)

King David acknowledged God as the one who brought him out of the womb and instilled in him a sense of security in his mother's embrace (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., 2018, pp. 4-9).

Psalms 22:9,19, “You were the One who brought me out of the womb, The One who made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts. But you, O Jehovah, do not remain far away. You are my strength; hurry to help me.” (Proverbs 22:9,19, New World Translation)

Most of us don't take notice of every small bird we encounter, let alone observe when one falls to the ground. Yet, our heavenly Father pays attention to each and every one of them! And birds, even countless birds, hold no greater value to Him than a single human. The message is unmistakable: You need not fear that God overlooks you. Quite the opposite, He is profoundly interested in you! (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., 2018, pp. 4-9)

Matthew 10:29-31, “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So have no fear, you are worth more than many sparrows.“ (Matthew 10:29-31, New World Translation)
