Every society punishes those who take the life of another–except those who take the life of an unborn child. That is a matter of ‘choice’ according to many.
It is an understatement to say that people are different. Each person has a completely different appearance, a different ancestry, a different environmental mindset. So, each person acts and reacts differently. The one common denominator every person on Earth has in common is that we possess a life that has been gifted to us for a single divine objective, therefore we are linked to each other because of God’s intention that each and every one of us be here.
To take the life of another person created by, and intended by God to live is not only murder, but also assuming God’s power as if we were entitled to it. Every time a human being takes another human life, he/she is not only injuring God Himself, but also saying to Him: My will be done, not YOUR will.
Yes, there are those who say they don’t believe in God, but are they any less culpable?
And yes, there are those who also say that the unborn child is not a person. Of course, that has been debunked. Today, with the many, many pictures and videos of children in the womb, any conviction that the child is not a person is ludicrous. And yet…..
And yet, we have so-called professionals, such as administrators of Planned Parenthood and those who BUY baby parts, using these innocent lives to PROFIT themselves.
Human life is NOT a buy and sell proposition at any age.
So, what is life really?
It is a gift that belongs to no one but God. We did not make ourselves. We did not ask to be here. We are put here for a purpose. And that purpose is to lift up ourselves and our fellow human beings, not to destroy them.
Lord, I’ll be still
Here is my will
It’s stubborn and it’s selfish and it’s weak
But I give it all to You
May there be less of me and more of You
May there be less of me my God
