My Heart Hurts Mostly For Holy God 

The world has watched "those of us who claim to belong to the Lord" divide over politics and masks and vaccines and race and the sad list goes on and on. Lord forbid. Lord forgive.

Will we now divide once again over babies in the womb -- or will we proclaim together that future generations yet unborn must be told about the Lord? 

Let us pray: Lord have mercy. Give us the eyes of Your Holy Spirit in all these essential things. We desperately need wisdom, even beyond Solomon’s.

M. We need the mind of Christ to take over all of our thoughts. Find us as Your Bride weeping, and grieving, and pleading, and turning from all wickedness that You might administer the beautiful balm of Your holy healing 🕊 upon us, even within us, and beyond us. In Your merciful and mighty Name, Jesus, we fervently pray. Amen. -kww

"Our children will also serve Him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything He has done." Psalms‬ ‭22:30-31

"Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. And the one woman said, "O my lord, (King Solomon) this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. And on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were [alone] together; no one else was with us in the house, just we two. Now this woman’s son died during the night, because she lay on him [and smothered him]. So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from [his place] beside me while your maidservant was asleep, and laid him on her bosom, and laid her dead son on my bosom. When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead. But when I examined him carefully in the morning, behold, it was not my son, the one whom I had borne." Then the other woman said, "No! For my son is the one who is living, and your son is the dead one." But the first woman said, "No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one." [This is how] they were speaking before the king. Then the king said, "This woman says, ‘This is my son, the one who is alive, and your son is the dead one’; and the other woman says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the one who is alive.’ " Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king. Then the king said, "Cut the living child in two, and give half to the one [woman] and half to the other." Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply moved over her son, "O my Lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; cut him!" Then the king said, "Give the first woman [who is pleading for his life] the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother." When all [the people of] Israel heard about the judgment which the king had made, they [were in awe and reverently] feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was within him to administer justice."‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭3:16-28‬ ‭AMP‬‬

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and much grieving. Rachel weeping for her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because they were no more." Matthew‬ ‭2:18‬ ‭CEB‬‬

"…if my people who belong to me will humbly pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land." 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭CEB‬‬

Final note: My heart hurts mostly for Holy God.
