I have been reading some heart wrenching stories about
abortion and how the baby ended up living, however medical personnel would not
attend to help this baby live because the baby was simply was not wanted. Wow
how sad.
I remember when Prince William and Kate were pregnant and
how the media referred to this as the royal baby. My sister made the comment,
“Interesting when the baby is wanted it is referred as a baby, when they are
not then it is referred to as a fetus.” Yikes! She does have a point though.
However, it really does not stop there.
Many babies who were brought full-term have been left
abandoned in all countries around the world. I went on a Mission’s trip where
we searched a dump site where babies were left abandoned to die there. The
organization I went with is rescuing these babies and giving them an
opportunity to live. But it does not just happen in developing nations, it even
happens in developed nations.
Then I realize how our world views human life. Some seem so
disposable. Others are so portrayed. It seems to depend on how much a person contributes.
The bigger the name the more we hear about that person after they have passed.
Now don’t misunderstand me here. There are a lot of folks
who have done amazing things here in the world who do deserve proper
recognition. However it’s those who have had such a bad rap in the media are
suddenly receiving many news and stories as soon as they pass.
But there are so many people who have passed that the world
will never even know they existed. I think of the many aborted babies, refugees,
orphans, desperate women, lonely seniors; and these only really scratch the
surface.
I do find it interesting the value of a life and what our
world considers. Somehow we are not all on the same playing field. A life is a
life that deserves life doesn’t matter anymore. It matters who you are in the
worlds eyes (apparently) and if you are wanted.
Thankfully I have a Saviour who died for everyone, not just
the elite. Thankfully I have a God who loves us all the same, values life and
understands that a life is a life that deserves life. And the most exciting
part is that we were always WANTED. God always wanted us, He wants a
relationship with us and He wants what is best for us.
