After 3 Boys And 1 Tragic Loss, God Blesses For King & Country’s Luke Smallbone With Baby Girl

Luke Smallbone, who is half of the For King & Country duo, celebrated the birth of his first daughter with his wife earlier this month on January 8^th.

He shared the joyous occasion on his personal Instagram page. “Today is a very special day in our household.... as we just welcomed our first little girl into our family!! Courtney and I have always longed to have a girl join our family, but after 3 terrific boys we weren’t sure if that would ever take place.”

Luke then goes on to talk about how he and his wife, Courtney, lost a baby before bringing this daughter into the world. “A few years back we lost a little baby, so this girl (I’m now holding) redeems so much in our hearts. A dream of our darling girl was dreamt many years ago and today, we thank the Lord for the gift of our daughter.”

“She made her presence known & was swift to come, yet such a peaceful & glorious delivery. She has been so longed & hoped for,” Courtney wrote on Instagram. “After miscarrying & after waiting - her presence has been life & joy.”

Then the mother shared Psalms 126:6. “Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”
