\"Newborn<\/a>

The mother of this newborn baby who was saved from the abortion pill understands that God is the one who truly saved her baby, not us.<\/p><\/div>\n

The best perk about our line of work by far, in my opinion, is getting to hear the testimonies of women whose babies God saved from abortion. I also love getting to see and hold the babies who have been saved, of course, but to me there is something special about hearing a woman herself tell you why she, as a woman who once intended to “choose” abortion, appreciates your efforts. Hear a few of those testimonies and you will understand why the “pro-woman” position is truly “anti-abortion.”<\/p>\n

We have had many opportunities to hear such wonderful testimonies over the years, of course, but I think my current favorite is one we received just yesterday, because this testimony<\/a> shows that this woman not only grasps the value of her baby, but she grasps the essence of what it means to “glorify Jesus.”
\n<\/p>\n

Many times women express appreciation to us, saying “you saved my baby,” but the woman who wrote us yesterday said “God saved my daughter<\/strong><\/em> and I am so very thankful that it was because of you!”<\/p>\n

She understands that we are simply tools in God’s hands, and that we ourselves don’t save babies — God does! She understands the essence of what it means to “glorify Jesus.”<\/p>\n

The word “glory” in the Bible relates to “light,” so to me “glorifying Jesus” means shining a spotlight on Him. If we were standing on a stage next to Jesus, cooperating with Him in some kind of production, we should be content to remain in the shadows, understanding that He truly deserves the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Expressions like “we saved a baby today” are common (and often harmless) in the pro-life movement, but we would do well to continually strive to glorify Jesus in our speech by verbally recognizing the fact the He alone is our One True Savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
