Life is a simple fact, but not a simple thing because God (Nature) is involved.
Since the first humans were formed, we have been propagated from a mix of the male and female. A brand new human life starts inside the mother as soon as her fertilized egg begins to multiply cells. We learn this at a very early age. Abortion at any stage after fertilization ends a human life.
Life is hard
Our western culture “grew up” fearing God. So abortion was a sin outside of a life-threatening condition. Nowadays many are no longer God fearing. Personally, I think it’s a natural reaction to our sociocultural environment and a kind of self-preservation resulting in a breakdown of the nuclear family.
It’s hard to raise a child, especially for a single parent, so some people don’t think they can or simply want nothing to do with it. Many make a conscientious effort to prevent pregnancy. Some think they are alone and in control. That’s when God is the one oppressed. Maybe because Satan has our ear. The Devil whispers to us that we are a god controlling our own destiny and some are convinced.
Getting a grip
We’re all vulnerable to varying degrees of mental illness. Stress is a if not THE trigger. We live consciously or unconsciously stressing over things we feel are out of our control… like over-populating the earth… Aborting a fetus and homosexuality, may be sociocultural episodic reactions to stress.
The desire to do the right thing is alive in everyone… We have individual ideas of what the right thing is because we’re all unique and have unique experiences. Thusly, the right thing can be subjective.
Life is a precious gift from God. The fortunate of us start with a sparkle in our parents eyes. Ideally we begin life in love with our married mother’s consent to her husband. But life doesn’t always happen that way. For many of us, it’s more spontaneous.
So what’s the plan
The mom has serious work to do growing a baby. The dad gets off pretty easy! 😉 (just kidding dads)
A baby is a life changing blessing for the parents. But before and since Christ, not one of us is perfect. And life isn’t always ideal for anyone. Raising kids is not for the faint of heart. And they should not be forced to do so. Our lives are our own to live. Forgiving not judging is mental health’s key to success.
If I could offer any good advice it might be to try maintaining love and hope. Love and hope is what God wants us to nurture.
Hope keeps us alive and moving toward a good outcome. Love keeps us happy and content.
Answers and actions
God’s the only being that has power over us. Satan comes close, but we each have our own power over Satan and fellow humans. We consciously or unconsciously “hear” with our spirit and soul. We control our own discernment. We always get help, often when we’re not expecting it. But sometimes we need help and don’t ask.
We are not alone, ever. Sometimes we can think we are due to stressing challenges. Satan would like us to believe we’re alone. There’s always a battle raging between good and evil. I expect that peace and truth will come for everyone, but personally, I haven’t a clue how or when. I don’t win my battles until I forgive myself. ❤️
