Lord, in this life we have many crosses to bear. There are many situations that bring a quiver to my voice, and a fearful tremble to my hands. Fear can not grip me nor can it hold me back, or lead me to a compromise. Yet the truth is written on my heart. How can another innocent life be gone, killed before her time. Just another number to be counted as the list goes on. The heavy and deep pain that God feels consumes an entire being. His tears soak the hearts and souls of many. Though life is precious, pure and holy, for the unborn, there exists those who would merciless kill. It has become dangerously cruel and gory as their blood is shed everyday lying at the mercy of unfeeling hands. As I balance between the invisible line, hesitation is felt on the edge, that which separates life from death.Hidden in the secret of a mother's womb, are innocent souls who deserve a chance to live as we do. These little souls are fragile like the petals of a rose so soft with dew, a quiet splendor of nature is created. A beauty so pure and white, from the deep silent ground blossoming through the snow. Who would crush this little rose? Who would dare to extinguish life, as if to brutally destroy it by a knife. Dreadful is the frost that kills the rose and wicked are the evil seeds that abortion sows. The secret in the mother's womb has now become a chamber for execution. Sentencing herself of this crime, the former mother- to- be is left alone. The sterile sheet draped around her conceals the grave which now accommodates her baby.
All unborn children are sacred and human, and they deserve a chance to live as we do. When I serve the Lord in the face of this "heartless slaughter", my heart beats with courageous determination. I fall to my knees and pray that their innocent lives be spared. Please Lord, open the hearts of all pregnant women and men considering an abortion and all who are for abortion to help them make the choice that is accordance to your will all life is to be respected especially that of an unborn child. As we would shield the rose from being torn, we must commit our lives to saving the unborn.
It is time to join the army and use the greatest weapon of all. Love can conquer sin, and heal all open wounds. Love removes all the fear we may feel on the front lines. With God's love in us, our hands remain steady and our voices strong. As human beings we make mistakes, and are sorry for them. Most likely they are easily put aside. Yet sometimes our convictions go against your will, such as taking the life of an unborn child. Every broken-hearted, hurting woman needs to feel the love of Christ. They need us to be there. For this reason, we ask you, dear God, to help keep us be chaste in mind, soul, and body. To be chaste in mind, is to be chaste in thought. To be chaste in soul, is to be chaste in heart. To be chaste in body, is to be chaste in our daily actions actions towards others and ourselves. Though society condones the terrible act of abortion, it goes against the moral values that are close to our hearts.
