An Impulse of Life and Death

Becoming human none of us can determine when and how we will appear in this world filled with unknowns and new experiences at every waking moment. Within the womb of our mother we are able to feel pain, joy, and familiarity of the love that surrounds us. If there is love that touches each one of us the moment we are ready to birth, then at that very instance our skin will feel the touch of another human being who prepares our journey into the realm of Almighty God.

Our new life has begun with the tenets of peace that have yet to be discovered as we are being readied for the walk with our creator whose hands that will guide our direction towards eternity. For each person that lives from the moment of conception has already acquired a soul that is the spiritual and physical connection to God, alone. This impulse of experiencing God’s presence we shall find is a factual event that once our attention is attached to his Holy Spirit becomes a force that is not easy to lose.

There is an irony that one must face because of the challenges this new life we will encounter as we begin to mature. In spite of the roadblocks that confront each person, as long as our inclinations remain glued to the Creator’s love, that is responsible for our being born into life, the

Journey will not become one of doubt and disappointment. It is here that the love we felt in the womb will make a difference and fill our expectations of eternity with God.

If on the other hand our time in the womb was bombarded with anger, vicious voices that are able to penetrate the very tissue that protects us before human birth, that new life will enter through the birth canal wearing a coat of arms preparing for safety. Too many newborns who have experienced the sounds of disapproval become impulses of fear and already realize a life of guilt embedded into their psyche. It will take more than what most people are prepared to cope with. Their questions fall back to raising a child who feels empty and afraid of every noise or uncaring person as they also mature. Where is the feeling of love and trust that their counterpart received in their comfort of a loving and peaceful parent?

All children are God’s creation and his mercy is equal upon each one. It appears that the concern from each of us, as part of the human family, will be given the task of reaching the lowly as well as the upright through human love to guide and comfort the misguided approach to many unborn who are blessed to be born.

One sign of extending this much needed expression of love is when we can speak words of encouragement to an expectant mother where the unborn is able to absorb these words of peaceful voices and hold them within their tiny envelopment. This is why the protection of every embryo awaiting human birth is not a substance of a biological occurrence. These are human, viable, and future citizens of the world that God has already made a place in heaven for them.

Awareness of the atrocious and evil activity from too many “Powers-that-be” who insist on ignoring what life is about as far as respecting each person in the wombs of mothers. It isn’t just those who promote abortions, but the mothers who are being misled to not care for that little person whom they carry in their womb that will one day look up and wait for their mother to hold close to her bosom and say; “I Love you!”
