She was sitting in the waiting room, gazing fondly at her beautiful newborn baby. She was glowing, happy, peaceful.
I told her, “You look so good! Like you’ve got it all together in a good way.”
The mom ducked her head and smiled, “Thank you—everyone at the Morning Center always sees me that way.”
Yes, we do. Because God sees her that way.
When women enter our clinic, we don’t see them for their life circumstances, whatever those may be.
We see beauty; we see strength; we see courage. We see someone who was intentionally crafted by a loving Creator.
What breaks my heart is that so many women have never had truth spoken over them. And lies function as shackles that bind us to the things we so desperately want to break away from.
But when you speak life over someone, you call who they were created to be out of the shadows and into the light. The truth sets us free.
If I have learned one thing from my time at the Morning Center, it is this: Never hesitate to tell someone how you see them in light of who God created them to be. It’s transformational.
