The Value of Even the Smallest Life!
David sang...
For You formed my inward part; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from You. When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in your book they all were written. The days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. Psalm 139:13-16
In June 2016, during a 6am set in the International House Of Prayer Global Prayer Room, I had a vision... I stood at two massive doors. Behind them I could hear giggling. When I peered through the doors cracked open, and I saw Jesus sitting casually on a throne with what appeared to be bubbles over his head. He seemed to be playing with them, touching them lightly, making them float away from Him and then back to Him. He then turned toward me and our eyes locked. I sensed He was inviting me to come closer. As I walked slowly down the corridor towards this fascinating scene the details of the bubbles became clear, inside each one was a tiny baby. As I stood in front of Him, with a smile on His face He lifted His hands towards the infants and said “Pick one!” I responded a bit sheepishly with “Just one?” At that point he gave me a grin which seemed to say, “Silly rabbit”. It was such a precious encounter that if nothing had come from it in the natural I would have been fully satisfied with this marvelous moment with my King. But something spectacular did happen. I began to weep trying to take in all that I had seen and I heard Him say “Will you loan Me your womb?” This was one of those moments of divine invitation, one that seemed impossible but made my heart scream “Yes Lord, be it unto me!”
You see, I was turning 50 in a few short months and well, had already reached menopause. But if He asked, I knew He had a plan. My husband and I had heard about embryo adoption a few years back. We were in the process of our first newborn adoption and had met a woman who was “carrying’ her eighth adopted baby.
Although fascinated by it we didn't give it much thought...until now. I began to research and found that in this nation there are over 600,000 frozen embryos (babies) waiting for a womb. My husband grappled with the thought because we had stood so long for the safety of the babe that was in danger in the womb and for the babe that was about to be born and did not have a secure future of a family. He questioned why the Lord asking us to do this when we were strong advocates for newborn adoption and had already adopted three newborns saved from abortion. But shortly after I had a dream...
I was standing at my kitchen sink, I had something in my left hand. The water was running and I reached with my right hand to flip on the switch to my garbage disposal and ran my left hand under the water. I instantly knew I had just crushed an embryo! I began to weep deeply. I woke up weeping and heard the Lord say “I’m sorry, I don't know how else to show you how I feel about this. Whether a life is so small that the human eye cannot see it or an eighth month gestational baby being torn from its mother's womb, I knew them both! I stood before them declaring their plans, purposes and destiny’s. I GRIEVE EQUALLY FOR BOTH!”
I hate to admit it but it was a paradigm shift for us. As deeply Pro-life as we were, we could see that we were not looking at life with a Godly perspective. We were making the assumption that one was more valuable and worth our efforts than the other. We were offered the chance to deeply value the smallest form of life and go through the painstaking surrender of my body to give a life that we did not create the chance to be all that he was created to be. ‘“he days fashioned for (him) when as yet there were none of them”...Psalm 139:16
As I write this, our little boy is moving around in my 19 week pregnant belly as the Lord’s hands form him. All I can say is, “I’m honored!” I invite you to pray with me for our nation:
• to value life from a Godly perspective (Psalm 139:14)
• to loan more of its mothers wombs (Psalm 139:13)
and finally...
• to raise The Moral Outcry for all life (1Peter 1:15)
