You do know that it's a gift? It springs into being as if by magic and then somewhere down the road the flame is estinguished and the body is no more, but the Spirit lives on... Eternally.
Life...
It mean so many things to people, so much to some and so very little to others. Some hold human life dear, Others embrace the "planet", while there are those who make animals and their rights a priority and pour out the whole of themselves themselves into protecting them.
Oh, how Jesus loved the little children!
He blessed them, you know? He said we must be as they are, in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. But, many men do not feel the same, and give little thought to slaughtering the unborn, abusing & preying upon the helpless & innocent - those who have little or perhaps, no voice at all.
Persecution can occur at any time during life's journey. Those who defile and persecute attach little or no value to human life and completely misunderstand it's true purpose. But we will always be God's children, from the moment of conception, from the cradle to the grave... and all of eternity.
God created life, and gave it purpose. And He gave us purpose. He knew us long before the womb. Our value to Him is beyond measure and human understanding. My prayer for all is that we all learn to know the heart of God so extremely well that we can truly understand and grasp what life (in all it's forms) is all about, and how much we should cherish it.. and fight for it. That we be able to put things in the right priority and perspective, according to His Word.
All, in the name of Jesus.
