LABOR & DELIVERYLabor & Delivery….the simplest of words, yet so very complex. Labor is intense. Hard-core and usually full of pain. When most people think of labor they think of the labor of bearing a child. The horror stories that women hear of the pain & pressure endured to deliver a child. Then comes the breathtaking moment of the delivery. The silence. When the intense hard-core pain subsides and you anxiously await the subtle scream of a child.
Is it not, that we go through the labor of life? The challenges, storms, love, heartbreak, & growth of it all. How ever do we get through it? With every challenge we face we have no choice but to grow from the experience. For every storm our lives encounter, again labor brings growth. With every love there is disappointment and heartbreak. With every love and every heartbreak there is growth.
But every single time we experience labor we are delivered through the pain. We are delivered through God. Did Gods son not endure the cruelest labor ever? He carried his cross through the village. I can’t imagine the weight of that cross…not just physically but mentally. Knowing in the end He would be hung to die on that cross. Yet, His last wish… “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” His greatest prayer as He was being delivered.
The hardest labor is to deliver your child.
Just as God delivered Jesus….. for the pain of our sins.
