"Nothing new under the sun", words from Solomon. His wisdom has not been surpassed by any as of yet so I'm saying it still stands for today. Everything has always been here, (on earth), it is just a matter of time or season when it comes to maturity and is revealed.
As I see it some things have made attempts to break the soil of sameness only to be aborted. Abortions happen for basically the same reasons. I list some reason and not necessarily in their order of importance.
1. Destroy evidence of a moments pleasure.
2. New life forced by rape.
3. Not compatible with the father.
4. Covering up a lapse of judgment.
I submit to you that for these same reasons the things of God have not been allowed to mature and bring forth fruit and life after it's own kind.
1. We have aborted the voice of God for the temporary "feeling" of spiritual satisfaction and a moments pleasure. We'd rather feel than hear, so we abort!
2. We have had a form of godliness forced on us for so long and we sense something just ain't right. We have been timed, tithed and talented to the point our innocence has been taken. There finally comes a point when the impotence of religion and it's constant ravaging doesn't fulfill the promise of life, so we abort!
3. We are all born with a spirit. At times our spirit screams in opposition to what the "authorities" are saying but nevertheless we conclude THEY are the professionals and have been doing this for a long time, how could THEY be wrong? The part of us that is created in the image of God Himself, (our father), cries out and we opt for what THEY say and yes again we abort!
4. Finally after the acts have been committed, the apparent damage done and yet the God in us still reaches out in love to offer us freedom from what we've done, what THEY say but at long last it is easier to fall back into the familiarity of tradition and shed even the glimpse of new life...so yes we abort.
My friend, brother and fellow follower of Jesus Christ, Johnny Brooks has taught me much about simply touching and impacting those you come in contact with. My prayer is I never become a spiritual abortionist in my life or anyone I may touch. The abortion ends here!
