Choose Life For Terri

Father, it is funny how all things evil lead to death:

Galatians 5:19-21 (NIV)
“The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Meanwhile, all things God-ly lead to life:

Galatians 5:22-24 (NIV)
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.”

This should not really be a major wonder. Early on in your Word, you have issued the instruction:

Deuteronomy 30:19(b)-20(a)(NIV)
“Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, ...”

Now, LORD, why in the world is Terri Schiavo’s husband wanting her dead when clearly she is so alive?

Please, come to her rescue.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray. Amen.
