Before I go vote in the presidential elections, I think that I need to ask myself these questions:

Does moral value depend on the color of my skin?

Doesn’t every human being God created have the same dignity regardless of his social position, money in the bank, race, color or creed?

Does human life in this age have no value?

And what about marriage? Has the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman become obsolete?

Where are we and what is truth?

What has happened to the family?

Do you or do I realize that once I was an embryo? Was I not a person in the making then? Did I not have any value at that stage of life?

Should I be called a racist if I do not cast my vote for a man who does not hold to the same moral value that I would expect from the leader of our nation?

Have we become so shallow that we cannot see beyond the surface of a person?

Maybe we should all go to our room and close the door and ask all these questions to the one who says in Isaiah 43:4 “you are precious in my eyes and honored and I love you.”

He says that no matter what stage of life you are in, what you look like on the outside or what your mental or physical conditions are.

And with a love like that waiting for you, how could we allow the economy or anything to take precedence over life?

If we had a choice of life or death for ourselves, I am sure we would all choose life.
