I can only imagine the cries of the unborn child just before his life is ended by an abortion. I would imagine that if he could speak, he would say something like, "Somebody help me please, save me! Give me a chance to live. Why are you killing me?" As loud as the unborn child cried out, it would fall on deaf ears because someone had decided to abort this beautiful soul. A precious little spirit that had been dispatched from the great God of Heaven to come and transform the Earth would have his mission aborted. As I've grown in Christ, I've realized that the biggest problem with abortion isn't just that innocent children (not a fetus or embryo, but a child) are being murdered. One of the biggest problems that I can see is that we have taken God's perfect will and traded it for our own blasphemous, deceptive will that spits in the face of God. When God made each and every one of us, He granted each of us a purpose on this Earth. When we take something that God purposed to exist and we terminate it, we have taken the place of God. We have told God that His will is despicable and we can do better. When we end a life with abortion, we break the very heart of God. Psalms 139 tells that we God formed our inward parts, He so intricately put us together piece by piece and I imagine He spent a lot of time and dedication on each of us until we were perfect in His sight. Before the foundations of the Earth He spent countless hours perfecting us only for us to make a rash decision to KILL the beautiful life he created. Someone is going to have to stand in the gap for the voiceless. Someone will have to cry out for the saving of their lives.
Will it be you?
I have had the opportunity to attend a couple of
Bound4Life prayers and it is truly a life changing experience. If you've never heard of this organization they are a non-profit organization who wants to stop abortions. What they do is go outside of abortion clinics and courthouses and they put red tape over their lips which reads :LIFE. You can not talk during this hour, you can only pray.
I encourage you today to stand up for the unborn. They need a voice that will cry out on their behalf. They don't need you to be silent, they can handle that themselves. I also would like to say that if you have had an abortion in the past, it was just that: the past ! The good thing about God is that He grants us grace to cover our sins. It is not too late for you to give your life to Christ and to let Him heal you of your past abortion. If God can save me, there is no question what He can do for you. God is constantly in the forgiving and saving business. I love you guys & I pray that together we can make an effort to step up and cry out for those who can't cry out for themselves.
(-gracefully, Channing]
