It is so hard to stay positive when all around us we experience negativity. Whether you are deciding where you want to birth your child or where you want to eat lunch. People are always quick to give us negative viewpoints.
God always has a positive answer. We say it is impossible. God says: "What is impossible with man is possible with God". Luke 18:27 But then someone will bring up the arguement, if all things are possible with God why didn't God _____________________________________. You fill in the blank.
We don't know the reasons but one thing that I have learned from life is that while I might not like the reason (and sometimes down right hate what has happened) or might not understand the reason, God always has a reason. I have come to the conclusion that when something happens that I don't like, God is usually refining me in some way or preparing me for something better down the road. If life was always wonderful, we would never grow.
What has this got to do with childbirth? Everything. If we can stay positive about being in labor and giving birth it can change your whole perspective on your experience. Birth is part of life. It is not something that needs to be managed or controlled. It happens, if we will let go and let it happen.
(I fully understand that there are circumstances where interventions are necessary)
So I will leave you with some positive answers from God:
You say: God says:
I'm too tired I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30)
Nobody really loves me I love you (John 3:16 & John 3:34)
I can't go on My grace is sufficient (II Corinthians 12:9 & Psalm 91:15
I can't figure things out I will direct your steps (Proverbbs 3:5-6)
It's not worth it It will be worth it (Romans 8:28)
I can't do it You can do all things (Philippians 4:13)
