We can not help but ask why some people commit suicide? Or why some people look so lowly of themselves. In most cases, the standard is how much money, power, fame, or beauty they possess. The world had set these as the standards for an important and meaningful life. This situation is heartbreaking and depressing for a Christian. In the eyes of the Christian faith, human beings are very precious to God.
1. When God created everything, man was created last. Not because it was an afterthought, but to show his importance. When God created the trees, animals, seas, rivers, mountains, clouds, light etc, He said afterwards that it was good. But after He created man, He said, "Very good!".
2. When man was created, He made man different and above all creation. Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Man was given a soul so that he is in need of salvation. He was given charge of all creation. He became mans partner in the care for creation.
3. A human being is formed by the union of the egg cell from a woman and a sperm from a man. But we know that a woman only produces one egg at a time and the man offers thousands of sperms. As God meant it to be, only one sperm would get to unite with the lone egg cell. The other sperms would die. It is therefore very possible that we would not have been born. But it was God who chose us. We are preferred among others who could have been born instead of us.
4. Much more, even if we sin, God is willing to welcome as back if we repent. He accepted back the adulterous woman. He entrusted to Peter the Church even if Peter denied Him three times. Magdalene, a prostitute became on of His disciples. And Paul,a blasphemer and arrogant Jew who and killed many Christians became an apostle. And many more!
It is easy to make decisions for our life. But we have to be reminded that the life we have received is a gift. It has a purpose. Out of gratitude, the least we could do is to live it in accordance with our Creator. Let us give importance to our lives. Let us give importance to the lives of others.
