18 Oct Dark to Light (Rom 6:16) by Molly McDonald
Do you not know that if you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? ~ Rom 6:16
.
Reflection: This verse struck me hard. Every time I am out witnessing in front of a Planned Parenthood, watching the volunteers, most with smiles on their faces, or others with an annoyed attitude that we are there, it always makes me ask the question; “How can they be happily opening the door and ushering woman in, giving them over to a “doctor” to kill the life of their innocent unborn child?” At the same time that I am asking myself this question, I come back to prayer and realize that the difference is faith, God. It is so easy to always want to look onto the PP volunteers/staff/doctors with an attitude of “they should know better,” but in reality they can’t know better until they are open to the truth from our Lord Jesus Christ. They have all become victims and slaves to the lies and evil of PP. We need to continue to pray for these people. There is hope, and we are reminded of this hope when we hear the great news of another PP worker leaving or another facility closing. In the end we are all trying to avoid sin and get to Heaven, but in the process we have to meet those who are in the dark and bring them to the light of Life!

Challenge: Run or walk as a prayer for all those in the dark, especially those who believe in abortion, that they may have a change of heart, and turn to the light of God.
.
Pray LIFE Runners Creed to end abortion. Add Prayers.

Inspiration: “He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.” ~ Psalm 62:2
.
All In Christ for Pro-Life!
