Word-filled Wednesday

For the last week, as I have been writing and studying on the abortion issue, and praying, I have been repeatedly reminded of the great blessing God has given to us. Life. We are His beloved creation. Tenderly, our Heavenly Father knit us together, writing upon our DNA all the gifts and talents and details that makes us who we are. And He knew every detail. We are 'fearfully and wonderfully made.'

When I look at my children with love, I see the truth. God looks at us with such love! Yes, He sees the reality. We make mistakes. We struggle. But we are His precious children! And I know, as I have hurt for these poor children taken by abortion, that God hurts also. He loves those babies! I may never know them. Their mothers may never know them. But God knew them and loved them while in the womb and loves them still. He knit them together!

Abortion is a tragedy on a scale I can not comprehend. When something is that big, we easily shut it out. In many ways it is an invisible tragedy. But, I can not shut it out. I hope as you prayerfully consider the election, that you do not shut this out. Do not allow your mind to sterilize the truth so that you can let it be. These are God's precious children, each one fearfully and wonderfully made.

Don't let this day go by on auto-pilot. Live today in the knowledge that you are fearfully and wonderfully made! Do not let the pretender tell you otherwise. And as you go through your day, remember that those around you, your children, husband, neighbor, are fearfully and wonderfully made. I think if we traveled our life remembering that we would treat each other more the way God wants us to, and see each other with God's loving eyes. And all the while praise your Abba Father! He is worthy!
