Here is the story of a young pro-life woman, 21-year old Leah Winandy, who was standing vigil outside an abortion clinic when she had a knife suddenly held to her throat for trying to convince a pregnant woman not to abort her baby. The nice part of the story is that the expectant mother did not go through with it and decided to keep the child. Criminal charges were brought against the mother for assault but she received probation rather than the indicated prison sentence because of Winandy's agreement to the lenient sentence. Winandy said: “I forgive Mechelle for what she did; I do forgive her because God has given me forgiveness in my heart for her.”
I am glad that we did not have a believer martyred for Christ, but she was certainly willing to go there. Equally important, she was willing to forgive. I am sure that God smiled here.
