The Value of Life

By Holly Scheer

Life issues are at the forefront right now. With pending elections, videos telling us incredibly disturbing news, wars and murders… we think of life. And the end of life.

Our lives are not valuable because of what we do, what we contribute, what our potential is. The best of us isn’t more dear to our Lord than the least– and that’s something that can be hard for us to remember.

Our beauty as humans, our worth as people– it’s not tied to what we can offer others, but to what has been offered to us.

You, me, babies, the elderly… all of us are created in the image of our Lord.

When we consider how we wish to be treated, how we ought to treat others, how the world should be, please remember that.

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
