Thoughts about the Secret Place


With all the destruction going on
in the womb by abortion,
the Lord God wants to make it known
that the womb is created
for His purpose.

Enjoy this precious poem
in honor of God's creative
and sovereign nature.

I had been there once, long ago
But have no memory of my stay.
So Lord, take me into Your secret place,
For Your wisdom to convey.

It is in this secret place
You created the mother's womb.
To be a place of safety
This very special room.

For it is in this secret place
Your creation was to stay.
To be secure as Heaven,
As sure as the sun brings day.

You sent Your
only begotten Son
From Heaven
up above.
To come to earth
You sent Him
With Your
unfailing Love.

To earth He came to visit
"Good-bye," You said one day.
As He left Your side in Heaven
You sent Him on His way.

To Mary's womb You placed Him,
A safe place for Him to go.
You knit Jesus there so tenderly,
As He lay in peace to grow.

It must have been a bittersweet
Good-bye You said, that day.
For You both knew just what was best
As You sent Him on His way.

Such a precious place for all
This womb You call rekhem.
It was a holy place because
You saved it for my King.

Where no eyes could see but Yours
There in peace Your Jesus lay.
And all the time You knew Your plan,
Still, You sent Him on His way.

Lord, You knew from the foundations of the world
how You would send Your Son to Earth.

You could have chosen any manner You wished.

But You chose to send Your Son
to live in the womb of a young Jewish virgin
until Jesus could be brought forth.

Mary was her name
and what a blessed privilege she received
to carry the Son of God in her rekhem.


The Lord God is the Creator of All Language

In God's perfect way,
He predestined the meaning
of the Hebrew word for womb.

Having a relationship with God

     If you would like a personal relationship
with the Living God,

  •   God will meet you right where you are in life.
  •   God will bless you with His mercies.
  •   God will receive your request for forgiveness, and
  •   God will remember your sins no more, casting them into the sea of forgetfulness.

This is the gracious nature
of the Living God.


With sincerity, speak in your heart
these words to God.

Dear God,
I understand that Your Bible
says all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God.

I understand that Your Son, Jesus,
lived a sin-free life on earth
and died on the cross of a tree
to pay the penalty for everyone's sin,
including mine.



I am sorry for all the bad things
I have done in my life.
I ask You, now, to forgive me for my sins.
Please help me turn away
from anything in my life that is offensive to you.

I understand Your Bible
says that
all who call on the name of Jesus
may be Saved.
I now call upon the name of Jesus
and ask Him to come into my heart
and be my Lord and my Savior.

I thank you, God,
for giving me everlasting life
in Heaven with You
when my life here on earth is finished.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus.
                                Amen.
