#279 Conceived In Rape; Rebecca Kiessling's Inspiring Story Of Life and Love
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
"Having been adopted as a baby, I knew almost nothing about my birth mother. At 18, I requested my mother's "non-identifying information" and learned that a serial rapist had brutally raped her at knifepoint. This is how I was conceived. I remember feeling ugly and unwanted, and wondered, "Who would ever love me?"
"As for your birth, the day you were born your navel cord was not cut; you were neither washed with water or anointed, nor were you rubbed with salt, nor swathed in swaddling clothes. No one looked on you with pity or compassion to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out on the ground as something loathsome, the day you were born. Then I the Lord passed by you...I spread the corner of my cloak over you to cover your nakedness, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you; you became mine, says the Lord God. Then I bathed you with water, washed away your blood, and anointed you with oil. I clothed you with an embroidered gown...I gave you a fine linen sash and silk robes to wear. I adorned you with jewelry...with gold and silver...You were exceedingly beautiful, with the dignity of a queen" (Ezekiel 16:4-14).
