Beautiful Life

I'm not usually political, but I don't believe abortion is a political issue, it's a life issue. And my heart is breaking at the selfishness that is justified as "women's rights." It's not a war on women, it's a war on the unborn children that are not given their rights.  It really comes down to sacrifice and choosing to lay your desires down for those of that growing babe inside of you, no matter the circumstances that placed him or her in your womb.  Phillipians 2: 3-4 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests, but to each of you the interests of others. What a wonderful choice to consider the life of that baby over your own wants or what's easiest for you.  God will bless that choice in an abundance of ways, I promise.  It won't be easy, but He promises He will come through, and our God keeps His promises.


This song by Trip Lee says it well...

Beautiful life inside 
Living, moving, breathing 
So let hope arise 
God knew what he was doing when He gave 
Beautiful, beautiful life 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/trip+lee/beautiful+life_21013992.html ] 
Dear sister, I hear the place you at 
I know there ain't nothing easy about going through that 
There's a baby in your womb 
But you wasn't trying to do that 
You'd take it all back if you knew that 
But you ain't have a clue that 
That time with your boyfriend, that late night 
When you thought you was making love that you would make life 
And now it's feeling unfair 
Man, it ain't like you ain't got a life 
Shoot, the time, it really ain't right 
Can't quite tell you that I understand your pain 
But I know you shouldn't feel discouraged and ashamed 
And I know that baby in your stomach ain't a game 
It's got a heartbeat 
He's about to grow a little brain 
He's dependent on his mama 
God already knows his name 
You're made in God's image and that baby is the same 
Give him life 

Beautiful life inside 
Living, moving, breathing 
So let hope arise 
God knew what he was doing when He gave 
Beautiful, beautiful life 
Let it live 

Brother, I bet you were caught off guard by that seed in her stomach 
So your heart aches hard 
Feeling trapped like prisoners behind those bars 
The hand's been dealt, but you don't wanna take those cards 
Homie, stop and think about the choice 
That baby in her womb, she ain't really got a voice 
So she really needs her daddy to love her and rejoice 
She's a blessing from the Lord 
She don't need to be destroyed 
Don't abandon her mama 
Love her and support her 
She's in pain now, too 
She needs someone there for her 
But don't let her hurt you 
Baby girl alive in the womb 
Cause homie, you'll be looking in her eyes pretty soon 
Hey, don't get me wrong 
Look, I agree that we should give women rights 
That goes for unborn women, too 
Give them life
