The journey between conception and delivery.
I wonder why God specifically allowed the woman to pass through this process for every new life that must come into our world – including His son Jesus. Maybe He’s trying to tell us something about life.
Surely, it is a journey. It does not happen overnight, it takes time.
Lots of events take place which the natural eye does not see.
There is growth and development taking place inside, hidden.
Just because you don’t see it does not mean ‘nothing is happening’.
All kinds of changes are taking place.
The organs, the tissues, the limbs form and get ready to be exposed to the world.
Eventually when the time comes for the delivery, there is a breaking that must occur.
The baby must leave the comfort zone and come out in the open.
The mother must endure pressure and strain to bring this dream to life.
To see, have and hold in her arms what she has been carrying all along, she must stretch and this is not a comfortable process. She is in pain while the process lasts.
At the end she makes the final push and pop comes out the baby.
Now at last she can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the sight, touch and affection of her baby.
In a short while, she forgets the stress and pain of the entire process.
Your pain is not meant to last forever, it’s only to help you deliver you of your baby, the dream you have been carrying all along. Do not be afraid to go through the process, knowing it will end up in joy and celebration.
Having done all to stand, stand ye therefore.
Selah.
