Sometimes we forget about you.. And we certainly don't mean too. I was writing a post on Planned parenthood being exposed and as I was writing it I felt the presence of Holy Spirit come upon me saying "What about the mother?" Instantly I realized during all this. No one has written anything about the mom. The mom who lost her child. A victim who didn't see another way out and someone who was hurting deeply at the time and possibly still today.
I just want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that all these videos from planned parenthood probably hurt you the most, I'm sorry that these videos bring up the past that you just want to forget about, and I'm so so sorry that you came across a terrifying situation in your life where you felt abortion was your only option.
I'm so sorry that no one was there for you that day. Telling you that there is another way. a better way and a way where there is freedom. I'm sorry we didn't love you, cherish you and bring you into our homes and help you. And if you experienced the anger that some pro-life people carry. I'm so so sorry.
I love you. I love your baby who is now in heaven and I'm sad that both of you shared that fate. Both of you died that day and it makes me heartbroken to even think about it and wishing I could have been there for you. But I do have these words for you now that I'm praying you take to heart.
Jesus loves you! He's not mad at you and He wants to love you and hug you with His big loving arms. He wants to break your chains, resurrect the joy back inside of you that the world stole and He wants you to know that you're His daughter.
He wants you to know that the the enemy didn't win that day. He never has won and never will. But Jesus wants you to know that your baby is with him. Your baby is in no more pain. your baby is in heaven. your baby is rejoicing with singing and your baby is not mad at you or resentful. In fact, your baby's thoughts toward you are nothing but love. Your baby loves you and wants you to know that and your baby has forgiven you and Jesus has already forgiven you. He now wants you to forgive yourself.
My sister. It wasn't God's will for you and your baby to go through an abortion. It wasn't His will for you both to die that day. God hates abortion not just because of the murder and pain it's causing to his beloved little children but also because of the damage it is doing to his daughters. He hates to see you die inside, He hates to see you weeping in the late hours of the night and he hates to see you live in regret and shame. He wants to set you free!
My prayer for you today is that you will know Him, sister. If you don't already. I speak life over you and overflowing joy that breaks depression and death. I pray peace over you. The peace that passes all understanding. And I pray strength over you. To go into the world and save other women and children from such a fate.
All my love,
Heather.
I appreciate the take/spin that you've taken here in this post. Abortion is about so much more than just the act of aborting. I believe this is lost in the arguing and the sensationalization and the beliefs and opinions of the world. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting friend. I agree! I honestly believe that if we paid just as much attention to this matter as much as to the rest of it we'd have much more breakthrough. Our goal should be to reach the moms and love on them before they have an abortion and not call them "Baby killers" after they they, :(
DeleteThis is an excellent take on the matter at hand. I become physically I'll at the thought of what has been/is happening but like you, my heart also breaks for the mothers. A lot of them did not feel like they had a choice for one reason or another despite knowing there were other options. This is a time for we as Christians to demonstrate God's love towards these women and show them the same grace He shows us daily. We need to pray that eyes and hearts will be opened and that testimonies will come forth of His ability heal and make new. Thank you for this.
ReplyDeletePreach it! Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your heart. Your words are so so true. We'd have so much more breakthrough with ending abortion if we loved more and judged nothing. :)
DeleteThat needs to be on a shirt..."Love more. Judge nothing."
DeleteThere's an idea! :)

DeleteI was expecting a small-minded rant when I clicked on your link in the Life of Faith link up and I was so happy to read your kind, loving, and thoughtful post. My youngest son's birth mother considered abortion before deciding on adoption, so this is a subject close to my heart. Thank you for seeing the humanity in the woman who don't feel strong enough to make the same decision that my son's mother did.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet encouraging comment! it made my morning. It's a subject that is so close to my heart.. I'm a firm believer that we all should love more and judge nothing. Much love xoxo!
