Pursue Righteousness<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A Chinese doctor who abducted and sold newborn babies was given a suspended death sentence Tuesday in a case that drew widespread outrage with child trafficking a chronic problem in the country.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Zhang Shuxia, an obstetrician, was found guilty of stealing seven children, the court said, adding that she tricked parents into giving up their babies by telling them the newborns were sick or had died. (Source: Yahoo Singapore)<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When we read about this news, we may feel disappointed towards someone whom we thought could help, those who are supposed to help the delivery of a baby, become the person who kidnapped and even worse – did some trafficking to the babies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from her profession, let’s realize that every profession is vulnerable enough and all possibility could happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s pray for a pure heart, which is faithful in pursuing righteousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

May our life give meaning to this world.<\/span><\/p>\n

And hopefully we can spread the love to others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

So\u00a0flee\u00a0youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with\u00a0those who call on the Lordfrom a pure heart.<\/p>\n

— 2 Timothy 2:2<\/span><\/p>\n

Setia Pada Ajaran-Nya<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Seorang dokter asal Cina yang menculik dan menjual bayi yang baru lahir, dikenai hukuman mati yang masih tertunda Hari Selasa, pada sebuah kasus yang mendapat kemarahan besar dari banyak pihak sehubungan dengan penjualan anak-anak, sebuah masalah kronis di negeri tersebut.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Zhang Shuxia, seorang ahli kandungan, didapati bersalah karena menculik tujuh anak, begitu kata pengadilan, yang kemudian menambahkan bahwa Sang Dokter mengelabui para orangtua bayi \u00a0untuk menyerahkan bayi mereka dengan alasan bayinya sakit atau meninggal. (Sumber: Yahoo Singapura).<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Saat membaca berita ini, mungkin ada perasaan kecewa kepada seseorang yang dianggap penolong, mereka yang harusnya membantu kelahiran bayi ke dunia, malah menjadi orang yang menculik bahkan memperjual-belikan jabang bayi tersebut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terlepas dari profesi beliau, mari kita sadari betapa rentannya seluruh profesi dan segala kemungkinan bisa terjadi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari mohonkan hati yang murni, yang setia pada ajaran-Nya …<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga hidup kita di dunia memberi arti…<\/span><\/p>\n

Mampu menebarkan kasih kepada sesama kita. (-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jauhilah kesenangan-kesenangan orang muda. Berusahalah untuk hidup menurut kemauan Allah, setia pada ajaran-Nya dan mengasihi sesama, serta mempunyai ketentraman hati. Hiduplah demikian bersama mereka yang berseru meminta pertolongan kepada Tuhan dengan hati yang murni.<\/span><\/p>\n
