Glory Baby. Psalm 34:18.

Psalm 34:18, God is close to the brokenhearted.

There are so many baby stories. Some happy, some sad, some we don’t understand. There are women who would be great moms but can’t have any, for reasons only God knows and holds in heaven. There are moms who we think should have never been allowed to have that precious gift. There are some who have had miscarriages, or who only held them for a moment.

I knew a woman who had carried full term, then held her baby only for a few minutes before she went back to Jesus. Some problem the doctors detected in her early months of carrying. She had no thoughts of aborting, and left it in God’s hands. Today, she writes wonderful things on facebook about her faith.

A friend of mine during her early months, had a doctor tell her that her baby only had a 1% chance of surviving. She told her doctor, “My God works with 1%.”  She has a healthy baby girl, and named her Grace. What faith.

So many stories of faith, hope, and strength. My daughter is one of them. I remember when she came and told us she was pregnant with my grandson, not very long after she had lost her little one to a miscarriage. I never heard her question anything.  All I saw was the strength and hope to try again.

The only comfort found in the loss of a child, is also found in the song below: Jesus will hold them before we do. We can only imagine what Heaven's lullabies must sound like. Rest in knowing that heaven is their home, and it’s all they’ll ever know.

For those who have been trying, Gods word says that, “all things work together for good,” (Romans 8:28).  We have to trust and believe the Creator God knows what’s best for us.

I know we look at those who have abused or killed their babies, but God is handling that too:
"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good." (Proverbs 15:3).
"[does] He who formed the eye not see?"  (Psalm 94:9).

Leave things in God’s hands, and never cease praying.

For those who may have had an abortion, remember there is grace and forgiveness in His blood, if you believe.
 
Grace and Peace
