Sunday quote: “I saw you helplessly kicking in your own blood and said, ‘Live!'”
When you were born, no one cared about you. Your umbilical cord was left uncut, and you were never washed, rubbed with salt, and dressed in warm clothing. No one had the slightest interest in you; no one pitied you or cared for you. On the day you were born, you were dumped in a field and left to die, unwanted. But I came by and saw you there, helplessly kicking about in your own blood. As you lay there, I said, “Live!”
~ Ezekiel 16:4-6, New Living Translation

Scripture verses |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Wow.
A powerful passage. :)
What a profound indictment in scripture from centuries ago that is so applicable today.
Motherhood and fatherhood which was meant to be the most self-sacrificial, loving relationship on this earth where parents would lay down their very lives for their children has now become convenience-based, disposable child sacrifice where babies are laid on the altar of “sexual freedom” “reproductive rights” and “a woman’s right to choose” at all cost.
