Atheistic humanism has helped to desensitize people to spiritual reality.
But this realm definitely didn’t just “go away” because many choose to ignore it.

The rebellious counter-kingdom that Satan and Adam founded in the Garden is still around today.
And, the ultimate price for remaining a citizen of Satan’s kingdom is one’s very soul. But until the final reckoning, he accepts human blood as a form of tribute. The establishment of sin in our world has resulted in wars, murders, abortions, aging and “natural” death. The cost of playing god is extremely high.

Jesus Christ lived a completely sinless life, died a criminal’s, and experienced God’s judgment on our behalf. He offered His own perfectly innocent blood as sufficient payment to fully redeem anyone who is willing to renounce their citizenship in His enemy’s counterfeit kingdom. In this, we can be reconciled to our Maker as a cherished family member.

Not only that, but He generously allows us to “wear” His own righteousness so that when God looks at us, He sees something beautiful instead of just a blank page. Through Christ, we are not only cleared of guilt and declared innocent before the Judge of all hearts, but the good deeds He inspires us to do can be credited to our accounts.

He offers us an eternity of joy, peace and love with Him. Why would anyone want to turn away from that?

I don’t think anybody meant to imply that you were living the high life. The problem is that even the greatest of inconvenience does not weigh more than the smallest of human lives in God’s moral balance. To choose convenience over life is inherently selfish. Selfishness takes many forms. It is not always “living it up”. It is not always obvious to outsiders. And all of us who have posted here are guilty of making selfish choices of some kind at some point in our lives.

There are many services, secular, governmental, and religious that are out there specifically to assist women in your current difficult position. There are also many places open to help you work through the after effects of the abortion, whether they hit you tomorrow or 10 years from now. Remember that. And remember too that God loves you and has made healing and forgiveness available to you. It’s there for the asking.

Perhaps I sound callous or unfeeling, but I didn’t understand before what love really means, it’s not all about being “nice”. It’s putting others and their needs ahead of your own, no matter the sacrifice. That is God’s definition of love, not the human distortion of it. It’s about telling the truth at the risk of offending them. So, I must offend you.

As a side note, I usually can’t afford groceries at the DT. I buy a good many of them at a discount/salvage to feed my children and am profoundly grateful to the Lord that I can feed them, as we trust in His provision for us.

Still praying for you and your childs needs.

Our circumstances NEVER justify taking a life. It doesn’t matter what your living conditions are…once a child comes into existence, the decision to “relieve” YOUR stress must take that life into account…that involves self-sacrifice. It may involve a pregnancy that ushers a new life into someone else’s home through adoption, or whatever else is necessary, but killing a person because your income is low or because your circumstances are hard should not be an option. (I say this only to emphasize why we are pro-life.) Every human enters difficult–sometimes unbelievably hard circumstances.

If my husband were to become paralyzed tomorrow, the hardship would be extreme, to say the least. I would not consider killing him to avoid that difficulty. Abortion uses the same logic.

I realize reversing what happened in your life is not an option; my prayer is simply that you would come to feel sorry about it and even help encourage other young women in similar circumstances. God can mend, heal and restore.
