LIFE MATTERS.
I'm about to touch on a rather sensitive subject. I'll preface this writing with the statement: 'I hope that you receive it as intended and not misconstrue in any way shape or form where I am coming from, because I am genuinely coming from a place of Love.'
Forgiveness is available to anyone who wholeheartedly and sincerely seeks it from God. Jesus died a gruesome death for ALL sins, not some. All. No one sin is greater than the other. That being said. I want to express my views on Abortion. Someone told me recently that the topic of abortion didn't exist in the Bible, and there are no scriptural references that state God is against it. But if you truly know that God is Love, is it an act of love to abort a child?
Human life is sacred to God.
He created each of us in His image. (Genesis 1:27) Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward....(Psalm 127:3) God cherishes each precious life He chose to bring forth to this world. I understand each circumstance is unique. Hear my heart. I am not condemning women who have made this choice to terminate their unborn child reluctantly, nor those who were pressured into doing so, or those who made the incredibly tormenting decision under duress of or other unfortunate events, and are now left with guilt that weighs heavily on their hearts...
No. This is not to throw stones at them. This is not meant to condemn anyone, but it is meant to convict the hearts of many. Many who don't think that life begins until it exists outside of the womb. But we know that to be just one more deception in a long line of deceit from satan. Because God's word says:
"My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in Your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them." - Psalm 139:15-16
It is simply not up to us to decide who lives and who dies. We cannot take a life that we did not create. I believe abortion has been so widely acceptable for so long now, that people have become immune to the pain that God must feel seeing what He fearfully and wonderfully created....killed because it was "inconvenient".
If you cannot afford the baby.... Have faith that God will provide.
If you cannot stand the baby because it was born of rape.... Give the baby up for adoption. That baby still has a purpose, days have been ordained for that baby, don't deny him or her that.
If you just plain don't want the baby.... There are plenty of people in this world who do, so if you can bare 9 months, to bless someone else's life with that child, what a worthwhile self sacrifice that would be. To bestow such joy to someone who cannot bare children.
Pray about it..... when does life truly begin?
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb." - (Psalm 139:13) "Before I formed you in the womb.... I knew you...." (Jeremiah 1:5)
