Life- Worthless or Valuable?

Over the past few weeks, I have constantly been reminded how valuable life is. My daughter has a friend whose sibling drowned. My mom is fighting cancer. My friend, Ashley, is just fighting.

I do NOT and will NOT comprehend those people that place little or no value on life. God gives us life. He gives us human beings eternal life. He also gives us the option to chose where we will spend that eternal life - with or without Him. What have you chosen?

Life is not worthless. It has not come about by a string of random chances that "evolve" from goo to you. Life is granted by the Supreme Creator, God, in whose image humans have been created.

Life is valuable from the moment it is conceived in the womb. Abortion is a choice that places no value on the life of others. Life is valuable on this earth for many years. Euthanasia is a choice that places no value on the life of others. Life is valuable to those around you. Suicide is a choice that places no value on your own life. Murder is a choice that places no value on the life of others.

Each choice is a decision that has to be lived with by someone. Do you see that? Someone will continue to live here on this planet with the consequences of that choice. The one making the choice will live with it eternally.

Life is valuable. Live it.

(Father God, thank you for creating me in your image and giving me eternal life with you. Lord, comfort those that have lost a family member. Heal those fighting illness. Support those that have lived long lives. Convict those of us that have not placed value on life. Forgive us, Father God. Please show us great mercy. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.)
