May Evil Not Dwell With You

This baby I am holding is just a few hours old. This is a baby from a mom who considered abortion. She saw how Cities4Life helped her sister with an unplanned pregnancy, and she called me. She had nothing for the baby, was overwhelmed, not making ends meet...could we help her? I put out pleas to my social network through Cities4Life and Facebook friends and was able to find her food and groceries on a regular basis, every baby equipment she could want, diapers, clothes, a crib, and we are waiting on a bed for her toddler...but the organization I contacted seems confident it will arrive before the end of the month. God is mighty. When people obey Him and step forth in faith, He does incredible, miraculous things.

Yes, I look a little haggard in the photo above. Cut me some slack. I had just spent 3 hours on a cold day on the sidewalks of the abortion mill. It was like Grand Central Station there. At least 40 abortions were being performed that day, judging from the cars streaming in when the abortionist arrived. 40. An entire kindergarten class being annihilated.

All of us on the sidewalks were shaking our heads. So many mamas making such a devastating choice. And then, I saw a couple pull in to the lot. I followed the car, and as the door opened called out to the woman. She looked so heartbroken. There was no doubt in my mind, this woman did not want to abort. I had just received the text with the picture of the little baby I am holding in my arms in the picture above. I held up my phone and encouraged the sad mama that I would show her the photo of another woman who had once considered abortion. But now, she was sending me a picture of her new little daughter, overjoyed. The couple went in the abortion mill.

Almost immediately, they came out. The woman was ahead of the man, who was following her, pleading. It was clear to all of us which one of them was pushing for the abortion. They got in the car, and the man continued to plead. We all prayed. I texted some friends to pray. The car rumbled to life, and the couple drove away, the woman still in tears. A shaky save, but the baby still lives. Pray for that little child, that her silent voice will sift through all her mama's and papa's fears to a place of compassion and love.

Two mothers chose life while we were there, but it was such a slaughter. All those cars...

I left the mill and hurried to the maternity ward of the nearby hospital. The vision of a parking lot filled with people bent on death was replaced by the vision of a child, a beautiful little girl, who is alive.

Romans 3:10-18 

As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” ...

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
