08 Aug God’s Law On Our Hearts (Jer 31:33) by Scott Casmer
I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ~ Jer 31:33
.
Reflection: We must be vigilant about doing the right thing, even when it’s exceptionally difficult. God is ready to forgive us when we fall short. On the issue of abortion, we as a society have fallen short in many ways. Every day in America, 2,500 children are intentionally killed in the womb. This is done with the approval (and often funding) of the government and with the legitimacy of the “health care” profession behind it. If someone killed 300 squirrels or pigeons and laid them on the sidewalk in front of their house, what would happen? How many thousands of people would rise up to defend those animals? They would strengthen laws to prevent it from happening again. Yet society tells us that we are expected to quietly accept the deaths of 900,000 humans each year. This is why we must stand up and remind people of the tragedy that is all around us while praying for the conversion of those who are not yet standing with us.

Challenge: Find something there are many of in your surroundings today. Think about how many of those it would take to reach 3000. Perhaps it’s 60 times the number of stars on the flag. It might be all the bricks on the walls of a building. Think of each of these as a precious life we are challenged to save today.

Inspiration: “And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even His life to love us. So, the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love, that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts.” ~ St. Mother Teresa

All In Christ for Pro-Life!
