Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

How does it happen? I am not sure except to say it is our human nature. We begin with the best of intentions but soon wander off the path of what is the only thing of importance – our souls and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

Little by little the things we are doing can become more important than why we are doing it. Our "rights" and our pride clutter up our mission with garbage instead of the purity of selflessness.

Without even realizing it, our pride can creep into everything. Who gets credit, and who is in charge can take the place of surrender to God, making it about us instead of Him.

We need to ask ourselves often, what motivates me? Is it "self," or truly a desire to do His will no matter what it may be, even if it hurts. We must be vigilant about kicking ourselves out of His way.

Am I doing what I do to proclaim God's goodness and mercy so souls will embrace Him, or has the ministry become my god?

Letting go and letting God, trusting, no matter what is happening, is hard. I know I tend to want to "save" instead of submitting.  I can often feel like a poor steward of God's gifts, but that is only true if I take my eyes off of His will for me!

What happens is irrelevant if I am doing what He asks of me. For in doing His will, I trust many will be brought to His heart even if I cannot see it.

Proclaiming His mercy is my desire….Jesus I trust in You!
