To the lady considering abortion
I don’t claim to know your pain
Nor have I walked in your shoes
I have been told to let you know that there is hope, a fresh start, a new day
If you will come to your creator, your God
He will never leave nor forsake you or your child
I am a scribe
The king’s scribe
I write as I am instructed to
The massage is that there is hope
This is what He says to you
Let us begin
A new day
Let us walk together
You and I
You don’t have to do this alone
I will heal you
I will give you another chance
My grace is sufficient
In your weakness, My strength is evident
My daughter
Come
Put your hope in Me
It is a new day
A new chapter of your life
Trust in Me
Don’t reply on your own understanding
Acknowledge Me while making your decision
And I will direct your path
Yes even in this tunnel, a valley
That you are in
You may have nothing to hope in
Nothing to smile about
But I am right here with you
Grab hold of My helping hand
And watch Me pull you out of the muck
He says
I understand your pain
Trust in Me
is there anything too difficult for Me?
I am well able to provide for you and yours
God is good, all the time, He is good.
