As a believer, I am disheartened by this abortion decision signed this week. I have read lot of arguments, scrolled past gruesome pictures, commented that mothers and babies will be reunited only if she comes to Christ. There are people who think everyone goes to heaven, if they believe in heaven at all.
I can assure you there is one, and a hell as well, not meant for people but for the wicked one and his minions, the spirits who would lie, kill, steal and destroy. They fool intelligent people, and they fool believers. Their mission to divide. And they succeed, but are in no way greater. Never.
It is not foolish to have or voice an opinion, but aren’t they mostly the same old ones, people want children, they would take them. Would they? Do they? Some do, but others? I am guilty as well, passing moral judgement and condemnation, I saw many crawling on their knees in protest years ago, did it change anything? Really? It may have saved some, like the law of the Old Testament, but what about the law and the prophets, Jesus didn’t just do away with the Ten Commandments He fulfilled them, and expounded on them, with one new one, to love God and each other, if you do that you won’t break any of them. You are covered in His forgiveness and grace.
So we can be angry and sin not, hate the sin and not the sinner, hate the murder of babies without murdering those who do not understand, believe in or know that love, in our hearts. We murder them with our words if nothing else. We must not insult the Spirit of grace, or abort grace as others are doing. Our commandment is to love. Our focus should not be on the enemy but what is Jesus doing.
I would love to see protest turn to praise, that He shows His love and mercy toward those who need His salvation before it is too late. If all we do is argue and act in anger, are we any better? I am not criticizing the critics, nor accusing the accusers, the enemy does enough of that, and we probably all have been to the woe is me point of our lives like Job wishing we were never born. Do we mean that though?
It is in honesty I say, where are they, when you are out of diapers and money, have a low paying income that forces you to government aid, red tape. I know all to well there are those who would live on welfare, but what about others? Where are the Titus 2 women to teach the younger ones, I know there are some but there is need for more. There are many souls to be won by His love and grace. I question myself , have I been a good example. I have been against abortion, yet see these children raised among addiction and turned loose, a system of child welfare that is overworked, and the point of the courts reunification, isn’t that a mortal sin as well? Should we be casting stones at sinners? No. Casting them at ourselves, other Christians, we do that very well. Jesus wasn’t a Democrat or Republican, conservative, yes, but radical in setting women free, more than ever, and He would free them now.
When you have a baby, there is going to be puke and poop and sleepless nights and postpartum days, everyone showered you with gifts and now here you are alone at 3 a.m. with a baby who won’t hush. That is reality. And it is also love. it is a lot for any woman much less, girl or one raised on abuse.
I was only a girl when women’s lib cropped up. and I agree that women should be able to work, get paid well, have a say. I even agree that it is their body, but there are better ways to prevent pregnancy, and abortion is wrong, it is murder. I believe God sees men and women equal in Him, He is the head and the husband, wife. then children, But marriage is no longer sacred, so is abortion really that strange in the light of it?
Even as a believer, with limited knowledge and still young, I thought, it was a bag of blood, but then I saw tiny feet, and the Lord changed my heart because life is in the blood. He sees and hears and His blood is more powerful than Abel’s when it cried out for vengeance and even the unborn. His shed blood on the cross, speaks forgiveness for what He suffered, Hebrews 12:24, I while I depend on Him, I wouldn’t be counting on ignorance before Him as judge, were I an unbeliever. Jesus loves the little children of the world.
The world is shaken. Our faith should not be. His grace is sufficient. And it is not shaken by this decision. He knew what was coming. He knew when prayer would be put out of schools, Roe v. Wade would come. When changing sexes would be popular and acceptable.
That a believer abort a baby would unthinkable to me, tough l contemplated that decision when thing about birth defects. But I am for life, pro life and life more abundantly and that only comes from Jesus and His grace. but there is still forgiveness. The sacrifice of Jesus is that deep and covers even people who are not aware of the wrong in this, there is a great deception, as we draw ever closer to His return, I offer my prayers knowing He sees hearts, and He is the one to change them, and He will never force people to believe and neither should we try, just keep helping whomever we can. Many people really just don’t know His love, that is what I hope to share. And for those who have had an abortion, there is forgiveness and healing, grace and no condemnation.
Perhaps, as many voices cry out for forgiveness, and in fear, as do in anger, He sees and hears. He was in the womb when the devil used Herod to destroy innocent children hoping to destroy Him, that failed and so will all this. He was on a cross when the devil was sure he had destroyed Him, even in hell but took the keys of death, hell and the grave. He was raised from the dead and restored our authority over the enemy, let’s use it wisely, and focus on the life giver, not the life takers, if believers fall short, so will sinners. And for those of us who will not abort His grace, we are not just poor old sinners saved by grace, but victorious and overcoming by His blood and our testimony, a light to those in darkness, we were all there once, let’s not go back or become what we hate. Let’s choose love, let’s choose grace, and one day the Prince of Peace will be the judge of all, and every knee will bow, even those who abort babies, and those who abort grace, one judgement for believers, one for the lost. Life or death? Choose wisely. Rebecca Jones / public domain pictures
