Text Box: You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous— how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. Psalm 139.13-16 Before the creation of this world you find yourself living in, there was a God who knew you and loved you. In the stillness of His own heart and mind He imagined you, choosing then to form you in your mother’s womb, giving you life as He intricately wove together the wonderful uniqueness of your personality, your physical appearance and your very life. A tailor made plan for a tailor made child. He gazed upon you, His marvellous and precious child. He called you good. God is a Father - our Heavenly Father, and the greatest father in this world could not come close to the unconditional, all consuming love that God has for His children, His creation. God wanted a family and that is the reason we are here on this planet. The Bible says that God is love and love always needs someone to love! None of us are an accident, but were all truly wanted by Him. The Bible is God’s thoughts, His heart and His instruction for our lives. In the passage of scripture above He is declaring very clearly that the reason we are here today is because He made us and wanted us. All life comes from God. He is Life (John 1.3-4) and to know God is to know eternal and abundant life (John 17.3 & John 10.10). Every child created has an eternal spirit, for we are made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1.26) and God is a Spirit (John 4.24 & Hebrews 12.9). Our spirits are immortal and will live forever. So a child that is not given the right to live in this earth is still very much alive, only they are now living in Heaven with God. God never loses babies! When I was 19 years old I had an abortion. I weighed up what I thought were my options and even considered actually having the baby, but when it came right down to it, I decided to do what I thought would be best for me. I simply chose ‘convenience’ over what I knew in my heart was right and went ahead to make the most selfish decision of my life. I will never forget arriving at the abortion clinic and being faced with a group of pro-life campaigners. They were holding banners and posters of foetuses clearly showing that what was alive on the inside of me was not a “mass of cells and tissue”, but a child. I put it out of my head and tried to put it out of my heart, yet I knew what I was doing was so very wrong. Even while the procedure was taking place I literally felt like something was dying in me. After the abortion I never really talked about it with anyone. I didn’t know how to handle the emotions I was experiencing so instead I threw myself into a life filled with drugs, alcohol and promiscuity. God created us to bring forth life, not to destroy it. Disregarding His natural laws will always result in heartache. Five years later I met Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. He won my heart and showed me just how real He truly was. A friend had given me a video of a man who had been taken to Heaven and who had seen among many other wonderful and incredible sights a great number of the children who had been aborted. These children were being raised in Heaven and were full of the love and glory of God. The man said he heard these children saying “Jesus, will my mummy and daddy make it? I want my mummy to make it”. These children had forgiven their parents and were so intensely wanting them to believe the truth and know the love and forgiveness of God. They wanted their parents to be with them for all eternity. As soon as I heard these words I felt the weight of my sin. My own moral conscience and heart were shaken with the truth and I knew what I was hearing was real. Jesus says that a revelation of the truth will set you free and this is exactly what happened to me. The decision I had made as a 19 year old girl came flooding back. It had been a real child, a new life that I had not allowed to live. Only it didn’t stop there, my whole life to that point seemed laid out before me. I knew for the first time that I was a sinner and my sin had separated me from the God who loved me. Sin is simply missing the mark and breaking God’s laws. I saw that my sin had consequences, and I truly asked Jesus to forgive me—and He did, and my life has never been the same since that moment. His love had saved not only my child but had saved me. The one Person who truly had the right to judge me instead reached out and offered me forgiveness and freedom from a life of guilt, shame and fear. He knew like no other could what it would take to reach me, causing me ultimately to stop and look at my life. He offered me a way out from a lifestyle that was slowly but surely killing me. He gave me hope when I had none and He made sense of what life was really about. He changed me on the inside and healed me spiritually, physically and emotionally. I have such joy in my life now knowing there is a day coming when I will not only see my wonderful Jesus but also my child, and that child is also longing to see me. I share my experience in the hope that it will touch and help change the life of another. Never forget that while God is the Author of all life, He is also a Father. Every child conceived came from Him and has a purpose and destiny. Both you and your child were chosen by Him are so very special. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…….”Jeremiah 1.5 Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. Isaiah 49.1 ..Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? Job 31.15 A.M.

My Story

God made flowers to grow from a seed. Is the flower any less a flower in seed form than when it shoots out of the earth and blooms? Being a seed is part of the process of life and development.

Everything that the flower is later to become

can be found tucked away in that seed.

Are we any different?

The seed of our life, of what we were destined to

become was planted by God in our mother’s womb.

Psalm 139.13-16

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body

and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

Your workmanship is marvellous—how well I know it.

15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter

seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was

recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

After reading this Psalm again, stop and ask yourself right now— how do you feel? Does something in your heart stir? Even if you have never believed in God, what is happening in your heart and in your conscience? Don’t push it away, because it’s God’s truth and His love reaching out to you.

Jesus said that to believe His Word and to gain a revelation of its truth would set you free……(John 8.31-32)

If you need to get your life right with God, the God who is really your Heavenly Father, then simply talk to Him now. Acknowledge what you have done and ask Him to forgive you—and He will. Let Him bring peace back into your life and let Him restore you and love you back together again. Let Him make you who you were always destined to be. Only His love can do this.

Remember, you were created to be loved and to love in return. Jesus, God the Father’s Son, died on the cross at Calvary 2000 years ago and when He was nailed to that cross He knew all about you. He already chose to forgive you. You are why He came to the earth in the first place and why He went through what He did.

Romans 10.9-11

9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

John 3.16

16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

How God chooses to create life...

A 12 week old foetus walking in the mother’s womb

Dear Father God,

Something in my heart has been touched as I read this today. I see now that what I did was sin and separated me from You and from knowing true love and a life of peace.

I don’t want to live separate from You anymore. I repent for taking the life of my child. I ask You to forgive me for this and for every other sin I have committed. Please take away the guilt and the shame. Please help me to forgive myself.

Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and that you died for my sin and then rose again. I believe right now that You are alive and that you know everything about me, that You love me and that You have a plan for my life. I invite You to come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour.

Please fill me with your Spirit. Give me the strength and desire to follow You. I receive Your love and Your forgiveness and with your grace and help I will live a new life from this moment on.

Thank you Jesus, I am now a child of God and belong to the Family of God and I will spend eternity with you and with my child.
