May I ask you a question? Should someone eat some fruit and throws its seed away, and after some time that seed becomes a tree and bears fruits, would we say that because that tree wasn’t INTENTIONALLY planted or cultivated, we wouldn’t eat of its fruits? I am sure not.

Why is it that when a person “UNINTENTIONALLY” conceives and bears a child, we call that child a MISTAKE?

A tree and a whole human being, who is more important, and who should be readily accepted?

Yes, it is true that you just had sex. Yes, it is true that you didn’t intend to become pregnant, or become a father. Yes, it is true that the sex happened just one time, and even you didn’t really penetrate. But whatever the case may be, NEVER call the outcome a MISTAKE. Your deed (sex) may have been a mistake, but the product (a baby) is NEVER a mistake!

You didn’t CREATE that child. As a matter of fact, you did the LEAST of work in bringing that child to the world: You didn’t make that child’s lungs, heart, head, etc. All that you did was to CARRY the child, eat a little more food, and then push the child out when it was time to. That’s all!  I am not underestimating your effort of childbearing, but comparing your work done to that of God’s, your work done, no matter how huge is actually negligible in comparison with God’s.

Then, what makes you think that you did the most work, and that since you weren’t ready, that child qualifies to be called a mistake, and probably should be aborted without any shame?

Let me ask you, should you have treasures which you want to transport between two cities, but the vehicle you planned to use breaks down, or the driver disappoints you, would you say that because you didn’t get the bus/driver you planned for, your goods qualifies to be seen as waste? Would you leave your treasures to get destroyed without transporting them just because your “planned bus/driver” disappointed you? Of course Not!

Wouldn’t you rather try to get another bus, an even better one to transport your goods because you know how worthy your treasures are?

So, in the same way, whether you planned the pregnancy or not, that child is a WORTHY TREASURE, and as such, he/she shouldn’t be aborted nor left to destroy.

And to you children who have been called bastards, a mistake, etc just because of the circumstances surrounding your birth, DO NOT ACCEPT THAT LABEL! If the person who was to carry you (mom) or accept you (dad) doesn’t want to have anything to do with you, the one who CREATED you(God) does!

            YOU ARE NOT A BASTARD!

                        YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE!

Look at Moses in the Bible, we never heard about his father after his birth. In fact, where was he when Moses was put on the waters in a basket? Yet, the circumstances surrounding his birth didn’t STOP the destiny of God for his life (Leader for the Israelites) from happening. In fact, we can say that it may be because of his destiny like Jesus’ that he had to go through the fire of ‘death’ and ESCAPE it.

Look at Esther, an orphan (without parents) yet Esther became a Queen in a foreign land.

It is true that life may seem easier when both parents are involved in the life of a child. But I tell you what, some children’s lives have been ruined by their very parents.

My dear, don’t accept any testament that is contrary to what the Word of God says about you. Read the Will of God (the Holy Bible) and you would know who you are.

If your parents (carriers, bus) don’t want to carry or have you (the worthy treasures), your owner (God) would take care of you. Don’t try to ask/know how. JUST TRUST HIM. Just as you don’t know how he created you wonderfully, trust him to care for you so fearfully and jealously.

YOU are worth much more than the lilies of the valleys.

YOU are worth much more than sparrows.

YOU are Worthy!

YOU are God’s Best.

YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE!

Stay Blessed.
