The Silent are Killed

More than one-third of the people in America are killed legally before they are even born. This means that every single person in this nation right know, had about a 37% chance of being aborted in their mother's womb. Abortion kills 2-3 children per minute in the United States alone. Every day babies are stabbed and snatched out of their mothers' wombs.

Back when the Declaration of Independence was written, it was said that a person is "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights... Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Now that first one really caught my eye. Life. Where has the value of life gone?

Where is God in all this?

Psalm 139:13-14a
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Sadly, our government does not believe that an unborn baby has rights at all. So, at the expense of millions of lives, abortion doctors will continue to perform abortions and women will continue to choose abortion over life. The ending of abortion will not come from you and me. We need help from the Creator of all. First of all, we need to pray for our government and our leaders because nothing we can do will change anything. God changed things. Secondly, we need to tell others about the harm of abortion and open others' eyes to what is legal in America. We can change our friends' minds about abortion.

Now, I am not writing all this to say how terrible America is or to condemn abortion doctors. I am saying this because we need to spread awareness about abortion. Through help from God, we can start opening others' eyes to the value of life.

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born." -Ronald Reagan

A fail of a title.

Sometimes it seems like everyone wants a good relationship. Sadly, I think we look in all the wrong places. Seems like many people from school want a boyfriend/girlfriend, or just friends period. You see it everywhere you look--teenagers talking about how much they love their significant other and then the next month they are talking about how he or she broke their heart. They get all goo goo and lovey dovey just to be let down. So immature and SO typical.

Often I wonder how much precious time is put into an empty relationship. Now, don't get me wrong, time should be put into relationships, but people spend too much time fretting over acceptance from someone they "love". The most valuable time that could be spent in our teen years would be to strengthen our relationship with Christ. If our earthly relationships are not God-honoring, then why are we even bothering with them?

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

If we seek God's will, everything will fall into place, though not exactly how we planned! His righteousness should be what we strive after every single day. Seeking acceptance from a boy or girl is silly and can be dishonorable to God. Just love God and he will do the rest!
