I
have this friend. Recently she lost a baby. A little while ago I got
to hang out with her and listen to her story. When she was in the
hospital a priest came to see her. I still can't believe the words
she heard.... basically he told her a 'story' of two mothers, one
giving birth to John Paul II and the other to Sadam Hussein. In
conclusion of this story she should be thankful for what happened
because she doesn't know who she would have given birth to.
I
thought about it, and realized how horribly this misrepresents who
God is. I have never lost a baby so I can't tell her that I know how
she feels. But I know, I KNOW God does. I shared Psalm 139 with her.
I told her to read it, and find the Truth for herself. God says that
if we seek we will find. I know that He can find her, I know He wants
to find her. I also know that dark places are the best places for
letting God find us, and for us to experience His care and
forgiveness. I know I don't have to do anything else. I introduced
her to Jesus, and He is attractive enough to bring her to Himself. I
pray that He would 'rain down' on her and convict her of sin. I trust
His word that He doesn't want anyone to perish.
