GIVE BLOOD GIVE LIVES


लैव्यव्यवस्था17:11 क्योंकि शरीर का प्राण लोहू में रहता है;"Bible pictures blood as something which carries life in itself" Leviticus 17:11

Until 19th century in human history a good number people died by massive blood flow (accidents or wars) because they didn't understand the value of blood in human body. 

Similarly, today many people across the globe die because of the excessive flow of blood. Friends2support.org survey tells that everyday 38000 blood donation. WHO reports that only 9 millions units are collected while the need is 12 million units. TOI survey tells that India faces a blood shortage of 3 million units. Alongside other states of India Bihar is no. 1 with shortage of 84%. 

NDTV reports, in 2008, 17 people were kidnapped for two and a half years to forcefully donate blood. Beside this there are illegal blood farms that breeds black market of human blood. 
Uncontrolled increase in fatal accidents and life threatening diseases have caused such hike in blood demand.


Even one donation makes a lot of difference in this context. It means a life to an dying individual. Many would not donate because of the unawareness, misconception, fear of disease or fear needle injection. None of these are valid or accepted reasons though.

If Bible says blood carries life, then, Gift of blood is a gift of life, from which nothing greater could be imagined. A life saved from mortal death holds the possibility of being saved from eternal death through Christ. 

Jesus came to give life, the life of abundance.

Give Blood Give Lives !!!
