Day 3 - 40 Days for Life

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of
sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried:
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house.
For I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham saith unto him They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them.
and he said, Nay,father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will the bbe persuaded though one rose from the dead.
Luke 16:19-31

Throughout the Word of God it is written that God sees our hearts and our motives. Jesus said that when we do for the least - we do for Him and also warns that whatever we do not do for the least - we do not do for Him. We are not to ignore abortion and it's victims. We are to stand up and speak up for those in the womb, the man and woman who are to be the child's parents and also those who are now suffering because they had made the choice to have an abortion. All of them need our compassion and mercy. All of them need us to seek the Lord on their behalf. All of them need us influence our community and government to prevent abortion. Let us pray for them and ask the Lord how He would use us to implement a change in the hearts and minds of people concerning abortion.
