Chains Are Breaking Every Day


How hard it is to look in a woman’s eyes and say her boyfriend is a sleezeball. Yet sometimes that is what I have to do. (Okay, so maybe not in those words but still…) She has been cheated on, lied to, and used. Now she is pregnant.
She knows she needs to lose the boyfriend, not only for the baby’s sake but also because she deserves better. Yet she keeps hoping he will change. It hurt to see her going through this pain. She is connected with him because of sex, and it is even harder to break away because he is her first. The chemicals in her brain are reeking havoc on her heart.
Every day I see the pain that comes from sex outside of marriage. Every day I see the shock and horror on a woman’s face as she looks at her test. Pregnancy is not designed to be a disappointment. Sex is not designed to be used outside of a holy lifelong God given relationship.
Each woman and girl that come to our offices have had sex. Most are without a ring on their fingers. But all, like this girl, have pain that we can help with. Whether they hear us, is up to them. So pray for them! The message we give is one of love and truth and many truly listen.
