Congenitally Sinful

I have recently started studying about disease, specifically in clinical settings. As it is only the beginning, rare but significant ones were mentioned, most of them being congenital ones. Of course, from such tragedies, important scientific breakthroughs were possible. Agenesis triggered curiosity into organogenesis. Lack of enzymes necessary for common bodily functions led to studies in gene expression. The list can go on, but then again, I think about the child, the family, and the parents that went through the entire ordeal. Was life really that worth living, a life filled with agony, not to mention constant experiments done in the hospital? Was a brief moment here in this world a valuable treasure, more worth than any pain to be endured? No, absolutely not, but let’s make it so. 

"Better is one day in your courts
 than a thousand elsewhere" Psalm 84:10a

Let’s pour out our hearts with love. Even a faint glimmer of a second here with God is incomparable.

"In necessary things, unity; 
in doubtful things, liberty; 
in all things, charity" 

- Richard Baxter
