Why do you want to do that? I asked urgently and with a sorry heart.
“Because I don’t want to get fat or have to tell my parents,” he said. His voice was calm and full of indifference, as if my question was about the time and not about the abortion he was about to suffer.
- Two hours later.
- The unwanted baby in the uterus of the seventeen-year-old girl.
- Whom I advised.
- Was gone.
- I’ll never forget that day and what I felt.
- Holding the phone.
- Begging him to let the baby live.
- God’s sovereignty and how much he was involved in the new life from which she sought to free herself.
- The script was inherently cumbersome.
- Because I was talking to a teenage girl about to commit murder.
Maybe it’s you now. You found out you’re pregnant and you’re thinking about an abortion, after all this, the baby wasn’t part of her plan and that’s it.
? This seems to be an unexpected inconvenience. Your freedom is at stake, your body is undersieged and your life potentially under the authority of another, that’s how you think. Temporary pleasures of sex should not lead to a parent’s life. Now, the only option to consider is to call for the nearest family planning and plan the time to do what you think will maintain the autonomy you love so much.
I don’t mean to know you, your situation or the full range of thoughts of your heart, but I know that if you’re thinking about an abortion it’s because your mind and heart have been led to believe lies. dark place, where light and truth do not reign, only pride reigns. The same pride that led Eve to assume that she could only feel true freedom and happiness outside of God’s will. Now, because of the influence of sin on your logic, you follow in his footsteps.
Go the other way. By faith, take another path: the way to life, not to death.
I got pregnant with my daughter on my honeymoon, at first I did not look at my pregnancy with joy, the recognition of another life in me seemed heavy, I had planned that my husband and I would spend the beginning of our marriage alone. Childless. No unexpected responsibility. Just the freedom that I thought children could take away from them.
Although I did not consider abortion, I still had the heart of an abortion; I saw life in me as an obstacle to my joy. I saw this baby not as a gift from God, but as a mistake. that view, I can understand your anxiety.
I know what it’s like to be taken by surprise by Providence, and I desperately want your will done instead of God’s. There’s still a choice to make. Let your actions be governed by lies or create the truth.
The truth is this
You are born convinced that true joy is discovered outside of God. This sin pleases you much more than Christ. Is your heart inclined to choose anything other than God for your satisfaction, and has that brought you to this point?that murdering your unborn child is the most rational way to preserve your joy.
On the contrary, the only true joy available to all of us is found only in Christ. To know God is to know authentic joy. Fight to believe that the sin of abortion will not satisfy you; allow the recognition of such people to take you into the arms of the one Savior enough to save you; there you will find forgiveness and the deliverance of punishment and the power of sin. You will know joy and happiness in God, and only in God, under which this can be said of you: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they have already been tired” (Mt 5:6).
If we had a discussion about why we are looking forward to birthdays and Christmas, the common denominator of our love for both events could be based on the emphasis on gifts, which not only make us feel appreciated and loved, but also reveal the feeling. that those who give us have for us.
Tragically, in our society, this does not sound true in our hearts with regard to children; We see them as mistakes, when they are conceived without our permission, and not as gifts from the providential hand of a loving God. Psalm 127. 3 says: “The Lord’s inheritance is the children; the fruit of the uterus, your reward. Pay attention to the word in the scriptures. Your child was not conceived by accident; his son was conceived because God created this son, in his image,” with a purpose, and put him in his womb for the glory and joy of God. Try to refocus your thinking and think it’s true.
Do not let the infantile ideology of society influence you and make you abort the human being that grows in you. He or she is a gift.
This world is full of egocentrism. If there’s one thing we’re all good at, it’s being selfish. We think living for someone other than him?Sounds silly at best.
I’m sensitive to your situation, but I have to be frank with you about your motivation. The root of your desire to abort your child is selfishness. I say this not to condemn, but to reveal in love. Understanding this will lift your fight, so that it can be replaced by the truth that you have been created for more.
To live a life that revolves around oneself is not living at all. It is the paradox of what it means to be blessed: “Is it more blessed to give than to receive?(TO 20. 35). And be truly great: “Whoever wants to be great among you, is that what serves you?”(Mt 20:26). And finally, like Jesus: “For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and give his life in ransom for many. “(Mk 10:45).
Jesus, the exalted king, worthy of eternal praise and worship, became a servant; more we have to cross the avenue of fatherhood. We were not created to be selfish creatures, but we were made to love God and love people.
Before I finished the conversation with my friend, just two hours before I had a miscarriage with her son, I asked her to look to the future, I wanted her to put aside all the negative thoughts she thought were the future and instead consider the great positive and wonderful aspects that may arise from choosing to be a mother rather than a murderer. Imagine the joy your child will bring into his life. Imagine the purpose God had in store for his son, imagine the incredible opportunity to create someone with the potential to have an impact on the world around us in a way we can’t even imagine.
And please do the same. For a moment, I want you to get out of yourself and imagine all the beauty that might exist if you choose life over death, motherhood over murder, sacrifice rather than selfishness and true joy rather than empty lies.
