Honoring the Sacredness of Every Life
Honoring the Sacredness of Every Life
John was filled with the Holy Spirit even before birth, a powerful reminder that every human life is known, loved, and set apart by God from the very beginning. Each person bears God’s image and has inherent dignity and worth, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance.
This truth calls us to honor and protect life at every stage, and to approach difficult topics like abortion with both conviction and compassion. God’s grace is available for all, and He invites us to repentance, healing, and a renewed commitment to see others as He does.
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV): “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
Reflection: Is there someone in your life, perhaps overlooked or undervalued, whom you can affirm today as precious in God’s sight? How might you show them their worth?
