We often forget that our lives do not begin from birth, but from the moment of conception. The Bible teaches us that God knew and loved each one of us from the time we were in the womb.
Just think, when you were in your mother’s womb, God had a special plan for you. He counted every part of you, every hair. Isn’t that weird?
Psalm 139:13-16 says: “For you are the maker of my heart; you covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
These words remind us of how extraordinary we are. Every child is a wonderful creation of God. This knowledge motivates us to be more respectful and caring towards life. It reminds us that every person, no matter his age, is precious in God’s eyes.
So let us all show more respect and love for life. Because every life, from its beginning, is precious to God.
