Thoughts About Abortion

No civilized society permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different.

Adoption is a viable alternative to abortion and accomplishes the same result. And with 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child.

Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception.

For women who demand complete control of their body, control should include preventing the risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if that is not possible, through abstinence.

Those who choose abortions are often minors or young women with insufficient life experience to understand fully what they are doing. Many have lifelong regrets afterwards.

Abortion frequently causes intense psychological pain and stress.

These people were threatened with abortion when they were in their mother’s womb. However, they were allowed to live: Justin Bieber, Tim Tebow, Cher, Pope John Paul II, Celine Dion, Nick Cannon, Lord Byron, Juan Ruiz de Alarcon, Jack Nicholson, Andrea Bocelli, among others.

God does not approve of abortion. Do not risk disobeying Him. Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor as ourselves and to do to others whatever we would like them to do to us.

Follow Jesus

Who Are You Going To Follow? You have to choose between following the world or following the Kingdom of God, you can not follow both.

God created a perfect world for us. But Satan polluted it with his darkness and unfortunately, human beings fell into temptation.

Satan filled the world with his darkness of hate, sadness, war, evil, infidelity, pride, greed and lack of control.

Jesus said: I am the light of the world. If you follow me you won’t have to walk in darkness because you'll have the light that leads to life.

Don't follow the darkness of the world, towards eternal death. Follow the light of Jesus, towards the eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

Jesus said: And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? Matthew 16.26

It´s easy to see the darkness and the destiny of the world. Don’t follow the world, follow Jesus to reach God´s perfect destiny for you.

Who Are You Going To Follow?

You have to choose between following the world or following the Kingdom of God, you can not follow both. God created a perfect world for us. But the devil polluted it with his darkness and unfortunately, human beings fell into temptation. Then, God removed His Kingdom from us and the devil stayed in the world to fill it with hate, sadness, fights and wars, despair, evil, aggression, infidelity, pride, arrogance, vanity, greed and lack of control of people’s desires. God said in Genesis 1.28: "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it”. But that was before the fall of humans, because after we fell into temptation, God said in Genesis 3.17: "The ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it." The Kingdom of God continued to be like the Garden of Eden that He created for us, but the world became the kingdom of darkness. When Jesus came he said: "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life”. If you follow the darkness of the world, you will get to the darkness of eternal death of the devil. But if you follow the light of Jesus, you will get to the light of eternal life in the Kingdom of God. That’s why Jesus warned us in Matthew 16.26: "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?". If you look at the world, it is easy to see its darkness and destiny. So, don’t follow the world, follow the light of Jesus to reach the perfect destiny that God has for you.

Thoughts About Achieving Dreams

How Much Does Your Dream Cost? Achieving your dream is not easy and there is a cost you must be willing to pay.

To achieve your dream you must pay the cost, that includes: time commitment, perseverance against obstacles and consistency of work .

You need to transform your dream into several successive goals, every goal must have compliance date and a plan of action to achieve it.

Fight for your dream, do not let anything stop you and do not ever give up. Learn from each fall and with that learned, get up and continue.

The most powerful element to achieve your dreams is prayer. Take time to be alone with God, to talk with him about your dream.

You need to align your dream with God's will and confirm that this is His Purpose for your life.

With God's wisdom, help and direction you will achieve your dream, but you must be willing to wait, because God's timing is perfect.

Waiting on God does not mean stopping, but resisting and persevering until God's time to achieve your dream.

If God is for you, who can ever be against you? Romans 8:31

I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
