I cannot be silent. For such a time as this.
Oh God! Thank You for the way You’ve awakened me to the sin the absolute tragedy of abortion.
How blind people are to say it’s not that bad. OH God. I didn’t see the tragedy of it until I was a counselor at a crisis pregnancy center. I came so close to many young or older women who found themselves pregnant and many of them said it wasn’t a good time to have a baby. My virgin self would think, it wasn’t a good time to have sex, either, if you weren’t planning on parenthood, then why were you having sex? That leads to parenthood. But I’ve been blessed in the way I’ve grown up and also in the intense grace of the Lord on my life.
I will never forget the day I watched the Silent Scream. Oh God, oh God. I cried and shook as I watched an abortion happen before my eyes, on the t.v. screen. How anyone could not see the evil the life being taken, the truth behind abortion through watching this, I do not know.
The baby’s mouth opened in a scream as the vaccuum came to rip apart its miniature limbs and body parts. I cannot type this without crying again. The truth about abortion is horrifying.
How must a mother feel when she knows she gave in to a common lie and gave up her precious child? Every day she has to live with that choice and I can’t fathom the sadness and guilt. But there is hope. Jesus forgives the worst of us sinners. And I say us because I’ve done things to be ashamed of and I’ve been a horrible sinner as well. There’s grace and forgiveness in Jesus, that I am sure of!!
I saw a bumper sticker, pro-child, pro-choice. Oh God, how blind must a person be to have that on their car, to believe that lie in their heart?
How can you not see the truth that a womb cannot be cleaned out and it not considered slaughter. Because you cannot physically see the baby inside of you, whether it’s super tiny, just being formed, or actually already formed, how can you say, get rid of it?
I can understand the fear of not getting through college, of not getting ahead in life, of not giving this baby a good life, but what says you can choose to not give the baby life at all? Oh God, that we are that blind to say, I choose whether or not this child gets to live, gets to open their eyes, gets to have the blessing of the sun shining on their face, gets to have the chance to become someone great.
Oh Jesus. It is heartrending. I’m only so glad that my eyes have been opened. Forever.
And every woman who chose life for their child, you are my hero. Especially the poor, especially the raped, especially the woman that was a victim of incest. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing life! To let your child live to become the next neighborhood kid I get to smile at, the next bright young child with a gift for playing piano, for running in a race and winning, for discovering their destiny in God.
For God says this to every person, “‘For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, ‘to prosper you, not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future!’”
And I have this hope, that while I’m praying for justice on this earth, I’m praying for Jesus return to the earth…and the time I’ll see Him face to face.
“It’s just a little while longer and I’ll see You, it’s just a little while longer and I’ll know You, it’s just a little while longer and we’ll be together
