As I sit
here on this Sunday Morning I
am in awe at the strength
that individuals can muster
up. We will never understand
why some are chosen to stand
tall in pain we cannot even
fathom, but those people seem
to touch the heart of others
in a greater way.
I received
the following e-mail which
touched my heart beyond
belief. The Lord put upon my
heart the above poem as I
feel the Lord opening up a
ministry to this precious
person. She will touch hearts
and hurting people like they
have never been touched
before.
Read the
e-mail she wrote and I'll
comment after the e-mail.
Dear
Sharon,
Just wanted to let you know
I've been here several hours
at your web site and I have
been deeply moved. I am
48 years old and pregnant
from a rape in April. I
also have leukemia and was
undergoing chemotherapy until
I found out I was
pregnant.
I am a new
Christian of about 2
months. I have been
battling with Satan and
myself about whether to have
an abortion or
not. I read a lot
of your information on
abortion but what touched me
the most and brought me to
tears was your poem "God
Never Loses Even One."
I am so
thankful to you for writing
that poem and to God for
giving it to you.Well, I
prayed and I cried and then
prayed and cried some more
but my decision is
final. I will not have
an abortion. How can I
after reading all the
beautiful poems and
testimonies that are written
here to help hurting
women. I'm sure I will
come back to this web site
time and time again and
hopefully my unborn child
will someday come here too
and visit the place where her
mother decided to give her
life.
God Bless You for caring.
Love,
DJ
LORD
- THE HURT RUNS SO DEEP
There are
times in life when we feel we
must give up.
Those are the times we let
our precious Jesus carry us
and gently fill our cup.
An ounce of
strength is just not there.
This is when we must trust
and know how much our Savior
really does care.
This is
when many get mad at God and
just pull away.
It's easy to just say 'God
you don't care' and just
begin to stray.
We don't
realize God's heart is hurt
more by leading us through
this pain.
Holding on tighter is the
key, rest assured God will
wipe away every stain.
Why me
God?? Why does this have to
happen to me??
I know behind this cloud of
doubt - you hold the light
and someday I will finally
see.
Point me in
the direction Lord - show me
the road you want me to take.
Write upon my heart and your
claim I will surely stake.
Light my
path with your glourious
desire.
Set my feet firm and fill my
heart with fire.
Your Glory
I will proclaim.
And I will do nothing to put
out this flame.
Give me the
people you choose for me to
touch.
Teach me your prayers and how
to love them so very much.
Silver is
only pure after it has been
put through the fire.
But even in the fire, the
path to You is the one I
desire.
I've come
to know - if my love for you
grows even in the pain,
I'll come through this fire
and you will wipe away every
stain.
You were
beside Daniel in the Lion's
Den -
I know you are by my side and
this battle we will surely
win.
My thoughts
now turn to building up my
crowns.
All I ask is to help me
through my battle without a
frown.
Give me the
strength not to say Lord 'Why
Me?
Just guide me to others that
I may help to set free.

I answered
back through tears and
concern. Some are saying she
should not be encouraged to
carry on through this
pregnancy due to the
resentment she may some day
feel for the child. I wrote
back that this was not my
encouragement at all but the
hand of the Lord was upon
this precious lady. She had
made her decision before I
even knew about it - so that
was from the Lord. The poem
she speaks of 'God Never
Loses Even One' was given to
me about 3:00 one morning - I
did not even know who it was
for, but I knew that God knew
who it was for so I put it on
paper.
This
precious lady has a heart
full of love and I know she
will never resent this
decision to give life to this
innocent baby.
As a
beautiful baby is the result
of going through pain - a
beautiful ministry will be
the result of the pain in
this individuals life.
Keep this
precious soul lifted up in
prayer - as you read another
e-mail which reveals more
pain than we can ever
imagine. This lady is special
and it will be a honor for
her to pray for us and to
help us through our own pain.
Dear
Sharon,
Thank you so much for
replying to my E-Mail, it
really blessed me more than I
was already yesterday when I
found your web site and
decided not to have an
abortion.
Yes, sure you can use my
E-Mail I sent you
yesterday in your newsletter.
Hopefully it can help other
woman in the same or similar
circumstances that
there is hope in the
Lord.
Being a new Christian, I have
so much to learn about the
Lord but with
finding a web site like yours
was a miracle for me.
The other day I was on
the verge of suicide (I'm
ashamed to say) but now I
have some peace and hope
after making the decision not
to have an abortion in spite
of the leukemia. So
many hurting women get a back
turned on them because some
Christians think if you are a
Chrisian and hurting or
having problems, you must not
be trusting the Lord
enough. God bless
you, Sharon, for being a
light in the darkness.
Right this minute there is a
song on the radio, Lord you
are more beautiful
than diamonds. How's
that for a, I hate to say
coincidence, but more a song
from the Lord to go along
with your web site
name. Oh, now I am
crying again, but it's okay,
it's a happy cry.
Thank you for offering me the
Diamonds from Heaven e-book
as a gift. I am new to
computers and I could not
find out for the life of me
how to download it but yes, I
do need PDF version.
That is such a generous gift
and I appreciate it so
much. Yesterday, I
wanted so much to get it when
I saw it on the web site
advertised but I am so broke
since I can't work and
several years ago (about 10),
my husband and three children
were killed by a drunk
driver. That has been
so hard to try and get
over. I don't tell very
many people that, because it
is hard to talk about--very
devastating!
Well, Sharon, I was wondering
if I could keep in touch with
you because I
feel that the Lord has given
me somebody special, somebody
that really loves the Lord,
and cares so much about
hurting women. Don't
worry, I won't make a pest of
myself! Thanks for
everything, and if you could
explain to me how I can
download that wonderful
book, I would sure appreciate
it. God Bless You and
your wonderful
mininstry. I will keep
you in my prayers!
Love,
DJ
P.S. I signed up to get
your Newsletter--can't
wait!
UPDATE
This
wonderful lady wrote me 3
years later - said she gave
birth to a beautiful baby
girl who is now on the stage
singing "Jesus Loves
Me" and all because of
the poem
"God
never loses even one"
