HOW JESUS SEES YOU

Baca:

"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation." (Romans 5:8-9 NLT)

Thoughts for Today
Abortion has created strife that sometimes may spill over into the church. Those who are rightly outraged about the loss of life that happens with each abortion may not be sensitive to the pain experienced by those who learned the truth too late. Or the double pain known to millions of Christian women because we denied what we knew to be true when we chose abortion against our own beliefs.
Kim admits, "Whether through perceived judgment or my own guilt, abortion made me avoid church." Many women feel like a second-class citizen in church after abortion-caught in the crossfire of abortion politics and personal guilt and shame.
But God's ways are not our ways. No matter how others may see us . . . or how we see ourselves . . . Jesus looks at us through eyes of love.
Consider this ...
God doesn't hate us for our weakness and our need. He knows we are frail and need his help.
Jesus can help you consider all the circumstances of your abortion and hold you in love as you think it through with him. Even if he doesn't love what you did, he never stopped loving you. As you mourned, he mourned too.
Jesus sees us through eyes of love. He loves us so much he died for us while we were still sinners. And no matter what we have done, if we will leave it at the cross and trust Jesus, he will make us right in God's eyes. Jesus does not condemn. He forgives.
