continuation of chapter six....... If you are tempted to have an abortion, please stop and ask yourself: 1. Am I willing to take an innocent life? - could you commit cold blooded murder? There is a life inside of you (see Galatians 6:7) If you take that life , you will be sowing future trouble for your descendants as well...for I the Lord thy God Am a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me" (Exodus 20:4) 2. Can I live with myself later? - it is a well documented fact that in many cases women experience emotional trauma for long years afterward. Through Jesus Christ God has graciously made the provision for this trauma to be healed. However, the restoration of the soul sometimes requires a long and difficult period of time. This is not because God is punishing the woman, but because she will often punish herself with the devil's help. 3. Are there others who would love to adopt my baby? -YES!! Over a million couples are eagerly waiting, usually five years or longer, to adopt a child. God will forgive you of the immorality which resulted in the unwanted pregnancy if you will ask Him. Then carry the baby to full term and release the child to others who will provide a loving home. There are several Christian organizations who are actively providing good homes for children born in such circumstances. I'll be happy to send you a list of them upon your request. To children given up for adoption there is a blessed promise. " When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up." (Psalm 27:10). 4.Am I willing to forfeit another's life for my own convenience? - abortion is fast becoming as alternate form of birth control for many girls. In a few short hours a life is taken and the mother is free to take another life if she is later faced with the same problem. - middle aged wives become pregnant and decide they are too old to raise another child. Many of the world's remarkable people in every field of endeavor were born to parents in later life. We have many examples in the Bible(such as Isaac, Samuel, Samson, etc,). Jesus saved the best wine for last.(see John 2:10) Remember, it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves" (Psalm 100:3) A Christian couple can pray in faith that God's will be done in regard to a late pregnancy. The Lord can quicken a middle-aged womans body to receive strength(see Mark 11:23-24; 1 Peter 2:24). God promises strength in all your days (see Deuteronomy 33:25, Psalm 8:2, Isaiah 40:31) As we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart (see Psalm 37:4). An abortion will never solve your problem. chapter six to be continued...........
