The MIRACLE child


 Psalm 27:10

King James Version

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, 

then the Lord will take me up.


I was studying something on Qatar early this morning, when SPIRIT led me to a particular section about a premature baby being abandoned at Doha airport:

"On 2 October 2020, Qatari authorities strip-searched 13 Australian women on a plane at Hamad International Airport over a premature baby found in a bathroom at the terminal. This caused an international incident with Australia."

-- Wikipedia


So I looked deeper, being appalled at such a report.

It turned out the baby came from Asian parents, except it seemed they had an "illicit" affair.

The father's identity was revealed from a DNA test.

It seems Qatar requires migrant workers to submit themselves to blood samples.

The mother had wrapped her baby in a plastic bag, thrown the poor child in a bin, "under the garbage', and left it in an airport bathroom.

Obviously, she wanted the child to die, and remain undiscovered.

Hoping she'd be free of the child forever.


Thing is, she texted the father that she was going to "dump" the baby.

It is possible this was from a combination of fear, anger, and panic.

Surely, from the text to the father, her identity was established.

But she had fled.

Criminal charges have been filed against her.

I have not updated myself on her whereabouts, or if she's been found at all, but perhaps I'll look into it.


As GOD would have it, the baby was found by authorities, and given the care she needed.

I was looking for an update on the child's condition today -- four years after -- but had found nothing yet.

But GOD made the baby girl survive, despite the abject conditions she was put in.

She truly is a "miracle" child.


Another layer to this incident was what many women had to go through, as authorities quickly "hunted" for whoever the mother is.

Women were "rounded" up, from several flights, to their great terror.

Understandable, as they saw authorities with guns who boarded the planes.

They thought they were being kidnapped, or something.

What more when they were taken to ambulances to be examined if they had "given birth".

And while being examined, their mind raced with "what ifs".

What if the female doctor "decided" they were the mother?

What was foolproof?

They were in another country.

They got really scared.

It was PURE trauma alright.


To this day, their trauma remains.

They filed suit, but as of April 2024, the Australian women were unsuccessful in getting the response they wanted from Qatar officials.

They felt humiliated, "invaded", and terrorized.

From one couple's "sin", many were caught in their web of trouble.


Being born again helps us become aware of sin, and its consequences.

Knowing GOD's laws help us live acceptable lives to the LORD.

And to live rightly with others.

A born again will flee from sin.

And thus, avoid dragging others into it.


My heart really goes to those who can't speak for themselves.

Such as this newborn baby who was unwanted, and "dumped".

We, born again, are here in behalf of the LORD JESUS.

Who would want us to speak for them.

We really must care for the "little" ones.

It is all our duty to do so.

A BETTER world

 

Galatians 3:26-29

King James Version

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ 

have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.


We could all use a better world.

A kinder, sweeter, more compassionate, and humane world.

Where there are no corrupt governments.

No abusive officials, and wasteful programs.

Where all have a home, and country, to be safe in.

Where there's love in the family.

Where there's food on the table.

Where there's peace at home.

Where there's worthwhile work.

Where there's love, and respect, for all.

Where all cooperate, for the good of all.

I long, dream, work, and pray for such a time.


All this is possible, if we have GOD.

He set the rules.

All we have to do, is follow them.

JESUS showed us how.

But oftentimes, man deviates, thinking he knows better.

Most of all, CHRIST's enemy corrupts us at every turn.

He always tries to undo, or sabotage, GOD's plans for us.

I said he "tries", for the enemy doesn't necessarily succeed.


We cannot change the world.

But we can change our thinking.

We can change the terrible within.

We can focus on GOD, for a change.

We can be born again, for one.

All I'm able to tell you, comes from being born again.

GOD's SPIRIT teaches me everything I need to know.

Such as the stuff below:


May we never forget GOD created us.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


May we never forget He gave us the breath of life.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.


May we never forget He makes everything possible.

Matthew 19:26

King James Version

26 But Jesus beheld them, 

and said unto them, 

With men this is impossible; 

but with God all things are possible.


May we never forget we are totally reliant on JESUS.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


May we never forget SPIRIT is the Source of TRUTH about JESUS.

John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


May we never forget JESUS conquered sin, and death, for us.

Hebrews 2:14 

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


Every day is a chance to do better.

To think better.

To love better.

To know GOD more.

But we can only succeed, if we are CHRIST-like.


Unless we follow JESUS, we will fail.

Unless we are born again, we cannot be taught by SPIRIT.

Unless we love GOD, we kid ourselves.

Unless we are teachable, we will never learn.

Unless we're so tired of how the world is, we would never want change.


We are all like wildflowers.

Swaying with the wind.

Having different breeds.

Having different colors.

Having different lives.

Having different heights.

Having different qualities.

And yet, the GOOD LORD made us all.
