Life is like childbirth; we have to push out the old to receive the new ~KE

Monday Message

If you’ve ever given birth to a child, you have experienced a relief once that
miracle has exited your body, right?

Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench
Classes United. Today’s message is a reminder that tough times can be
like labor in childbirth in that there is agony in the process and relief at the
end.

Into the night she screams
Into the day she bleeds
             Agony
Fighting an invisible battle no one can see
Or seem to fathom
Or believe
           Absurdity
Hands shaking
Body breaking
This is one for the taking
As he tries to take my soul
Now I know

This battle is real
Attempting to kill
Every last ounce
Of my hearts goodwill

All for the sake of sharing my Good Lord’s name

and like birth pains
The contractions get sharper
The labor gets harder
Barely treading above the water

You feel like you can’t breathe
No, not one more push
Or one more scream
and then you hear the first cry
His Holy Angels sing

Born again
With new hope of no end
Because you remember this feeling
Of this new life with Him
​
A child created to live by Light
And let Light in
an for His love to be spread
I would endure it all over again
​
“For affliction comes not forth from the dust,
Neither does trouble spring forth out of the ground.
But man is born to trouble as the sparks and flames fly upward.
As for me, I would seek God and inquire of and require Him,
And to God would I commit my cause -
Who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number” - Job 5:6-9
