Lewis~
I understand your pain in knowing and suffering the consequences of abortion. I understand because I have committed this sin, I have murdered my own child. And God has forgiven me, because I turned to Jesus Christ who paid for my punishment on the cross.
I am telling you this in hopes that you may see there are many women and men out there who will turn to Jesus~ just as Paul did though he breathed out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. Acts 9:1
But Lewis think also on the woman who had been a harlot, who had wept on Jesus' feet and dried them with her hair, and who kissed His feet, and who annointed them with her alabaster vial of rose perfume... ~ This vial of perfume (not really a box of ointment)> Jewish tradition notes> was given to a girl when she was very young by her father, as a dowry, and she wore it around her neck throughout her life.
Luke 7:37-50
Can you see that through her evil life she had saved this most precious reminder of her purity in childhood? That she expended it all on the Lord for His great forgiveness of her? :nod
Jesus said of her:
Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
We have ALL been forgiven ~ let us extend a greater mercy toward those whose sins require much forgiveness. :yes
Christ Jesus will return with the sword in His mouth and He will surely slay every wicked unrepentant person when He does! I fear and love the Judgement of God because it is perfect and righteous and worthy of His name!
He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. Rev. 1:16
Both you and I are hidden in the grace and mercy of God by Jesus ever~ :yes Bonnie
