Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. - Isaiah 49:15
It is a sad commentary on today's society that all too frequently, mothers ARE forgetting their infant children, having them murdered in the womb. And who can blame them? They are brought up today to worry about their own well-being, convinced that the life they are carrying is an accident and not a precious gift from God; that they need to think about themselves; that it isn't "fair" to bring a child into the world when they cannot provide for it; or that it really isn't a child. WE are the guilty parties, for we who should know better remain silent in the face of the evil that encourages behavior that leads to "unwanted' pregnancies, and we fail to love and give support to those who struggle with making the right choices. Worse, we support the murders by our failure to convince those responsible for the public good that all life is precious and that such violence and blatant disregard for life must cease. Thankfully, God doesn't forget. God is there for those who, through misguided actions, forget to love the gift He has given them and He is ready to embrace them with His mercy if they repent. But the rest of us, who have NO excuse, what will He think of us when we stand before him? He will not forget the unborn and will forgive those who turn back to Him, but what about the rest of us who could do something, but don't?
