This wonderfully encouraging text came from a mom who was facing incredibly difficult circumstances when I met her about two years ago. She came to the abortion center feeling hopeless and helpless. She knew abortion was wrong, but she was overwhelmed by struggles. After meeting with Cities4Life counselors and seeing her baby’s heart beat on the HELP Monroe Pregnancy Center mobile ultrasound unit, her world shifted. How could she destroy her living child? She could not.

We presented the gospel after she saw her baby on the ultrasound. With joy and tearful repentance, she submitted her life to Jesus. Her struggles did not end, but from that moment forward, she knew that she would obey God in loving the little miracle He had created within her womb. He would make a way for her. 

And He did.

I stay in touch with many moms who have chosen life at the abortion center. This one may be the most effusively grateful. She texts me regularly to thank me, and has for the past couple of years. She asked me to give the baby her middle name. And she always sends texts in capital letters, her enthusiasm for the joy of life requiring so much more than lower-case letters properly express.

Today, I was at the abortion center to help our team. There was so much adversity. The “pro-choice” escorts were playing music...a song entitled, “Another One Bites the Dust.” Friday they were playing, “Only the Good Die Young.” Their mockery of the seriousness of abortion and the tragic deaths of so many unborn babies every day makes all of us sick. I don’t understand how anyone could take delight in unborn children dying. However, our team played worship music and since it was amplified, it was heard.

I was stationed up the road. A driver stopped for me. The young woman beside him looked scared. They told me they were headed to the abortion center. I handed him our literature and told him we had resources that could help. I told the young lady her baby’s heart was beating as early as 17 days from conception. He took the literature with pictures of unborn babies at varying stages of development and drove on. He slowed down for the next counselor down the road, and she told him Jesus loved them and their baby, and also offered help, and a pamphlet. He held up the pamphlet I had given, turned the truck around, and drove away from the abortion center.

Sometimes, just the presence of people proclaiming God’s hope and reminders that someone values that little unborn life is enough to turn hearts. It is easy in times of struggle and discouragement to lose sight that God promises He will uphold us, He will be strong when we are weak, He will bear our burdens, He will restore us, He will never leave us or forsake us.

The beautiful promises of God. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
