The Gift – A Miracle in the Making
By Sylvia Hensel
“Therefore, I tell you,
her many sins have been
forgiven-for she loved much.
But he who has been
forgiven little loves little."
Luke 7:47
thought of you as I formed this gift in my image and likeness and fashioned it with your exact characteristics. I held it in my heart ‘til just the right moment, and then I tenderly placed it within you.
I watched as this babe was knit together in your womb. I thought as I beheld its face that some day, this smile that is so much like yours, will overwhelm you with an all-consuming love; a love that you would die to protect.
I see arms forming that will reach out to you to be held, because you will be the light of its life, legs that will come running to you at the sight of your presence.
I see the inward parts being knit together that will one day reproduce another such gift for a chosen vessel. The wonder of it all still thrills Me; a miracle in the making.
As with every baby, I give yours a destiny to be fulfilled. I become overwhelmed with happiness when I think of the joy you will experience as you see the fulfillment of the potential for greatness your child possesses.
This gift I am giving you is the most precious gift I have to offer; the miracle of life. If it were not so, then the death of My Son upon the cross at Calvary would be a worthless sacrifice, fulfillment unappreciated.
I see the Destroyer clutching at your soul. Don’t allow his lies to harden your heart. I promise you, you will not be alone, for I will never leave you or forsake you. What I am giving you will not entail burdens too big to carry, for I will be your burden bearer.
I will always make a way for you when there seems to be no way. I have thoughts and plans for you and for the baby you carry. These thoughts and plans are for the welfare and peace of both of you.
They are not for evil, but to give you both a hope and a future. I will be your Light in this dark world if you let me. Just call upon Me, and pray to Me and I will hear you. Search for Me with all your heart, and you will find Me.
With all I have given you, I also have given you a free will. All heaven is waiting in hushed silence for you to choose if you will accept this precious gift.
Today your answer came through the anguished cry of your baby’s voice which will be forever stilled. Today I felt the excruciating pain of this one who will never understand why love had to die. Today heaven’s tears mingled with Mine as My gift to you was returned, marked, “REJECTED - DAMAGED DURING DELIVERY.”
