Unfathomable Grace

Today I grieve.

I am learning how to grieve the sins of abuse, rape, and incest. I cannot imagine the trauma experienced by some.

I am learning how to grieve the consequences of the Fall that result in birth defects and various disorders. In this regard, I can imagine the fear of being told your new child might have lifelong struggles. This happened to us in years gone by.

I am learning how to grieve with couples who have had sex apart from marriage and have found themselves pregnant. Their confusion and fear must be great.

I am learning how to grieve the unjust termination of 60,000,000 plus innocent American citizens. These young men and women did nothing wrong.

I am learning how to grieve for those — women and men — whose consciences are scarred by their past abortions.

I am learning how to grieve for those who don’t share my biblical worldview with its wise principles, ethical code, Gospel cure, and Holy Spirit assistance.

And today I rejoice.

I am also rejoicing because God continues to save horrific sinners like me.

I am also rejoicing because the God has chosen to providentially allow this judicial reversal.

And tomorrow I love.

I am eager to help our local crisis pregnancy centers and adoption agencies.

I am eager to help my suffering neighbors who are struggling with their unplanned pregnancy.

I will continue to pray for a spiritual revival in our land. We have had a political and judicial awakening. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a spiritual awakening — a Third Great Awakening?
