Binding Wounds

I got a text from a heart-broken young lady I have befriended who aborted her child. She wanted the ultrasound picture of her child from the abortion center. Might I know if they would still have it? I told her it was her property, paid for with the abortion, and she should be able to get it.

She wanted that last picture of her child. She felt it would help her properly grieve the death.

We pro-life sidewalk counselors see so much pain, and sorrow, and remorse. We counsel on the sidewalks of the abortion center, begging women to reconsider...knowing the sorrow and burden they will face.

So much of what we do in life, especially when we are young, we don't think through the repercussions. We think those who warn us are out of touch, don't remember youth...Perhaps those who warn us remember youth too well.

I cannot heal the broken hearted young woman. But I keep sending her Bible verses from the One who can heal all things. And I have urged her to write a letter that either she or I can read over the microphone at the abortion mill to the young women streaming in.

"That might be a way to honor your baby," I told her, "By helping other babies."
"I will do that," she told me.

The Lord is Strong; Do not Fear

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Trust the Lord for Deliverance and Healing
