Have you ever thought about the odds of YOU being ALIVE? What it took for you just to get into planet earth. Let's elaborate on this a little further if I may. Your Dad's side grandparents had to meet to bring forth your Dad (despite imperfections). Your Mom's side grandparents had to meet to bring forth your Mom (despite imperfections). These are two (2) sperms meeting two (2) eggs out of one million sperms released by them combined. Then your parents had to meet out of the billions of people on the planet. They had sex, 500 million sperms were released, but YOU reached the egg. All of the participants involved...not to mention the great grandfathers and great grandmothers all led to YOU being a living human being on planet earth.
Furthermore, your mother didn't abort you. Thanks be to God! In today's world that's another miracle in itself. You survived landing on the fate of an aborting mother. You survived all the deadly diseases that prematurely have taken the lives of many babies. You survived car accidents. You survived being killed by wicked kings and rulers (Pharaoh in Egypt with Moses, Herod with JESUS, and Hamas with many Jewish babies being beheaded just to name a few). Your chance of being alive is almost at 0%, but God! According to Google, the likelihood of you being born is 1 in 400 TRILLION! The odds of you winning the lottery is 1 in 300 million. Wow! You have a greater chance of winning the Powerball Lottery everyday for the rest of the year than just to be alive.
When my grandson Axon Michael Alonso was born four (4) months ago (July 17, 2024), I began to give this more thought. Then my son and I began an in-depth conversation on this while playing golf. It hasn't left my mind since. Even if we live a short life, we already have beaten astronomical odds. We celebrate our birthday nonchalantly, but I believe this blog will help you live more grateful and thankful. Think about it, if we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you. If you’d never been born, well then what would you do? You would be called a WASN’T! Life is a MIRACLE and you need to appreciate yourself more.
In conclusion, I'm PRO-LIFE and it's not a political position, but a Biblical position. You were created for a reason, with a divine assignment, and for a purpose. And until you discover that, you won't be 100% fulfilled. You were born to bring more meaning and value to this world. You weren't born to just occupy space. The Bible says in Psalm 139:13 - "You (God) knit me together in my mother's womb." In Jeremiah 1:5 it says, "Before I (God) formed you in the womb I KNEW you." Yet, here are some selfless people aborting babies because of inconveniences and idolatry sacrifices. The Bible says in Proverbs 6:17, "God HATES the shedding of innocent blood." Mathematicians have said any event in the universe with odds of 10 to 50th power or greater is impossible! The probability of just an average size protein molecule (with its amino acids in the right sequence) arising by chance is 10 to the 65th power. Are you feeling mega special right about now? You should! I hope you don't take your existence in vain anymore.
