Life is precious. Only God can determine the conditions under which a person must forfeit his life. My duty is to protect and honor life. How will I show the people I see today that I value them and their lives?

Numbers 35.9-15
9 Then the LORDspoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 11 then you shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person accidentally may flee there. 12 They shall be cities of refuge for you from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation in judgment. 13 And of the cities which you give, you shall have six cities of refuge. 14 You shall appoint three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall appoint in the land of Canaan, whichwill be cities of refuge. 15 These six cities shall be for refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills a person accidentally may flee there.”
The Lord is my refuge and my safety. Do others look to me as a place of shelter and safety? Or do they consider me quick to judge them, and short on compassion?
