**************************************
Because God loved the world, He sent His Son to be the sacrifice for sinful man. Belief in Christ as Savior guarantees a home in Heaven. This is God’s firm plan.* Just as He cares about our afterlife, God cares about our time here on the Earth. It’s His desire to guide and bless each life, for each of us, to Him, is of great worth. God loves all people—those still in the womb; the terminal, aware the end is near; those challenged with afflictions of the mind and body; those whose days are steeped in fear. He loves the ones distraught enough to take the lives He gave them, which He would redeem with love from that deep pit in which they’re trapped.** His power to repair lives is supreme. I live a life worth living, as do you, the kids next door, the widow down the street, the homeless, those who dwell in prison cells, and famous people we will never meet. The world may see some lives as more important than others, but we know God’s thoughts and ways aren’t ours.*** All lives are equal in His eyes. For this sweet gift of life, let’s give Him praise. *John 3:16 **Psalm 103: 4 ***Isaiah 5: 8 and 9
