Reading the Bible as a Latina Pentecostal PK: "As for Ishmael, I will bless him also, just as you have asked. I will make him extremely fruitful and multiply his descendants. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation." Genesis 17:20

Yet another example of how God redeems the decisions of our past. God was kind towards Abraham and Ishmael as God chose to bless Ishmael despite Abraham and Sara's striving to fulfill God's promise by their own efforts.
