Thoughts for the Day

Jesus will not shun nor shame us over our spiritual agony after an abortion. He had compassion on the crowds who followed him in need of healing (Matthew 14:14). He sees us as he saw them-harassed and helpless when we are without his spiritual leadership in life (Matthew 9:35-36). He knows we cannot save ourselves. Instead, he will exercise his power to take on our sin and shame, heal our affliction, and give us a new status as children of God. Why? Because of his love. We have only to open our hands and hearts to receive this gift.

Do you want his gift of love? Are you willing to reach out for it?

Consider This . . .

Time and again Jesus demonstrated the connection between healing and faith. In Mark 5:24-34 we read about a woman who had been suffering with a bleeding problem for years. She had so much faith, she struggled through the crowds surrounding Jesus just to touch the hem of his garment. She knew if she could just touch him, he would heal her. When she finally managed to touch him, he turned and asked, "Who touched me?" He knew already, of course. But he wanted everyone around him to understand the connection between faith and healing. His question wasn't an accusation but a chance for her to declare her faith so he could then demonstrate his claim for her as his own. As far as Jesus is concerned, our faith is at the heart of the matter whenever we need healing.

It is our faith in Jesus that brings us into a close relationship with him and a place where we can receive his healing. After abortion, the spiritual afflictions of shame and a broken heart can be completely healed according to our faith.
