I read in the newspaper that a judge decided that an unborn baby of six months old is not a person.
The mother of the baby had taken a doctor to court who had accidentally killed her baby, because he had mistaken her for another patient and performed another operation on her.
Because of the decision of the judge he walked away free.
I was shocked by this news.

The Great Judge, our God, sees things differently;
The Call of Jeremiah

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
(Jeremiah 1:5)

 God already knows us even before we are formed in the womb. That means we are a person to Him already in the womb.
That's why it's so sad when they perform abortion.
They are actually killing a living human being, a person. Sometimes though because of complications that endanger the mother's life they have to remove the unborn baby.

God already had a plan for your life when you were still in your mother's womb. We are not here by accident, but we have to turn to God to let Him reveal His plan for our lives.
It sometimes looks like our life is meaningless, it has become dreary just sitting at the office, at home, school or wherever your job is.

Joseph must have felt the same way when he was put in prison although he was innocent. But he knew that it was not an accident, but that God was with Him and he did his best to please God even in prison by working very hard.
He was soon placed in charge of all the prisoners, because God granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
There he met the right people who helped him on the road to the fulfillment of Gods plan for his life.

He even used the gifts God gave him in prison, for he interpreted the dream of the cupbearer. The cupbearer was restored to the position he had, in the house of pharaoh just like Joseph had said.
And later he introduced him to the pharaoh, because of pharaoh's dreams. Then Joseph was placed as head over all Egypt, pharaoh only, was greater than him.

If he had not met the cupbearer in prison he would not have been called to pharaoh.
You are at the right place at the right time and you are with the right people who are helping you on the way to the fulfillment of Gods plan for your life even if they are mistreating you.

God is with you if you love and obey Him. Even if nobody notices the things you do, He does and He will reward you if you continue to serve Him with all your heart even when life seems dreary and boring.

Nobody and nothing can ever separate you from His love.

" For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8: 38-39)

“ What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”(Romans 8: 31-32)

Have a nice week.
