The result of rape

Ronnie Hill, an evangelist from Fort Worth, Texas, recently wrote an article for Townhall.com in which he explains that he is the result of his mom's rape as a 17-year-old girl. Hill's mom decided against an abortion, and Hill explains that in his ministry he comes across many pregnant women who decide not to have an abortion:
Many have come up to me and shared that they were pregnant and were thinking about having an abortion but changed their minds because God spoke to them through my story to have the courage to continue the pregnancy. Women who had been raped and became pregnant as a result, like my mother, have introduced me to their little boy or girl who came out of that horrible experience. They were encouraged when I prayed over their little boy or girl, emphasizing that God has a plan for them, and that He is going to use them for His purpose and will.

Hill points out that the Bible doesn't promise that everything in our lives will be good, but that every situation will be used for God's purposes.
