Words of Wisdom Wednesday - Ronald Reagan
I don't know about you, but these words are sobering to me. People who are for abortion are already born...so they're basically saying it doesn't matter that those babies lose their lives even though we get to enjoy ours? Our culture has become ME-centered. We are so stuck in ME that we can't reach out and help others...or save others' lives. Everyday, roughly 125,000 unborn babies are aborted - murdered - before they have that chance to live in this world. That's 125,000 babies that could've been born. What does the Bible have to say about abortion? Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV says,
"I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."
Do you value your life? Every life is a gift and has a God-given purpose. Never, never waste it. There's only one life to live, so choose wisely and live in love. A few years ago in AWANA (a kids' club where you memorize Bible verses, play games, and learn more about the Word), there was a project in which you write out the following and decorate the page:
Jesus
Others
You
This was an encouragement to put Jesus FIRST, then OTHERS, then YOU. If women and others around the world followed this, many babies would be saved. Think about it. If you put Jesus first, you'd obey His commandments and choose life. If you put others first before yourself, you'd think about that human baby's life and save it. If you put yourself last, you wouldn't think about "wasting" your life having to care for a child - you'd think about caring for a child who could grow up and change the world. Psalm 127:3 ESV states,
"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward."
Are you going to choose LIFE or DEATH? I don't know about you, but my choice is LIFE.
