The joy of
the wedding night, pure joy and happiness of finally marrying the man of your dream,
and then, the plan of starting your own family. You’ve tried, you have tried so
hard, even taken all necessary medication to enhance pregnancy.
Months into months to hear the famous words ‘I have
missed my period’ but the waiting time as rolled in to years of pain and
anguished.
Yes, years of wetting your pillows with tears of pain,
and seeing some of your friends or younger ones carrying their own bundles
of joy makes your heart aches!
You have been called names that you were never
christened with, BARREN, UNFRUITFUL, BEAUTIFUL
OUTSIDE EMPTY INSIDE, NOTHING TO SHOW. The
mockery and pressure is piling up from in-laws friends and even from your own
family.
You cried, you have prayed, you've fasted, you even
planted seeds of faith, but it seems God has gone on holiday, I want you to
know you are never forgotten by God. He loves you more than anyone.
Panam Percy Paul sang a song 'Don't give up it's
not over when you give up then is over...',
You might say, you don't understand my case or how
terrible things are, the fact that you are alive there is hope. You might say: ‘HOPE
DEFERRED MAKES THE HEART SICK! You are never forgotten by God you are special, very SPECIAL. You
have been specially carved by God to bring forth a glorious child in your womb.
Remember Hannah in the Bible that was jeered and humiliated but brought forth
one of the great Prophet, Samuel. What of Sarah, mother of Isaac even at that
very old age God fulfilled his promise and Elizabeth? The mother of the Fore
runner of our Lord Jesus Christ, John the Baptist to mention few. It is worth knowing that all the children the
above mentioned women brought forth, stood out in there generation!
Waiting is difficult i know pressures and gossips
are swelling up around you, even your husband might not be helping situation in
some cases but be rest assured that you are not forgotten God knows your name. The set time, of your testimony is nearer than you
can imagine and all those who mocked you will celebrate with you! CHEER UP!
