~ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
~ "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrates it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." MLK
~ This is a picture of a great man. I do not see a black man.. I see a Christian and community leader.. I see someone who refused to be silent when injustice was rampant in our nation.. I celebrate his life his faith and his legacy, not just one day of the year, but every time God brings remebrance of him across my mind or my path. A measure of society has lost touch with what he was truly about.. for ppl to treat those who wronged them by wronging them with the same prejudice and inustice remains sin. It makes you to become that evil thing that you hate.. your face becomes the face of injustice. Martin realized that it's not a matter of the color of a persons skin, it's a matter of that person's character as measured to the Goodness, Love, and Mercy of Jesus Christ. So much wisdom and love in his teaching and preaching and life. I see Christ so plainly in all he demonstrated. I pray God would raise up other such leaders today, in this hour of the church.
~ I pray God would raise up leaders of the caliber of Doctor King from every race and every nation and every community.. even within every family. I pray all fear be overcome by an extreme love of God and love for the ppl he loves, every soul he breathed into existence. I pray the volume of the enemies voice will be muffled in the ears of those who call upon the name of the Lord to keep their focus on the will of the Father. I pray peace to Christians.. that in these last days, they will not be overwhelmed or exhausted or discouraged.. rather I pray that a measure of their joy remain with them and that God would mulitiply it far beyond any joy the enemy may have stolen from them. I pray God be with you and make you strong and full of courage, unafraid and doing all things with a sound mind as the Word of God lights our way in this dark hour of our nation and the world.
