What is this love, this great love of this father who pursues me, even though I've been
00:00:09.340
And then I realized how terrible I was and how far I'd strayed.
00:00:14.020
And I'm going back and forth saying, thank you.
00:00:19.940
And I knew that this is like, whoa, like this is a peace I don't have to work for, that
00:00:24.660
I don't have to strive for, that I'm going to have regardless of what I do.
00:00:32.160
And I just, I knew that in that moment that everything else I had been doing in the new
00:00:35.780
age was a counterfeit and that like, I, everything was clear.
00:00:40.040
And then the Lord started really speaking to me that, you know, marriage is between
0.98
00:00:43.760
one man and one woman, that you're a woman.
0.94
00:00:48.720
And that life is sacred from the moment of conception.
00:00:52.780
He walked me through what I had done, the sin of abortion so gently, so lovingly.
00:00:57.460
and helped me to grieve that and process it with me. And he helped me understand that I actually
00:01:02.720
had a daughter and he gave me her name. And like, man, God is so good. And that I can even share any
00:01:08.540
of this without being like broken on the floor is because of his grace and his goodness. And Psalm
00:01:13.700
34, 5 says that those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy and no shadow of shame
00:01:18.260
will darken their faces. And also Colossians 1, 13 to 14, that he has rescued us from the domain
00:01:24.420
of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his son in whom we have redemption and the
00:01:29.000
forgiveness of sins. That's just like what he did for me and what he wants to do for all his people
00:01:34.560
that he loves. And he's a good father. And yeah, I'm so grateful for him.
00:01:40.740
That is an amazing testimony, Jocelyn, and I am truly so grateful that you have shared this
00:01:47.220
journey with us. I know some people in the chat were saying, you know, I'm pro-life and this is
00:01:53.540
hard to listen to. And it should be, right? Because this isn't what God's design was.
00:02:00.020
I love the Bible verse that talks about how God created us in our mother's womb,
00:02:03.940
like He knows us intricately, planned on us before time began. And it's sin that comes
00:02:09.040
into the world that messes everything up. And I know that we as an organization have
00:02:16.240
really addressed the SOGI, sexual orientation and gender identity, comprehensive sexuality
00:02:21.900
education and them coming into the school system and indoctrinating our children and
0.97
00:02:27.820
removing them, moving them away from a life of purity so that they can come to a point
00:02:34.160
where once again that, you know, we wait until marriage to have sexual relations.
