Every man and woman has the GOD given right to live their life. There should be no inferiority of one race of people or gender. This would seem to be common sense, but as we know nowadays common sense isn't so common. We are experiencing division among families, friends, and people in general.
People are operating with malice in their hearts. We are witnessing senseless killings, domestic abuse, racial profiling, sex trafficking, among many other things happening in the United States and society as a whole. Examples of this is the black youth violence in Chicago, the kidnapping/hostage case in Cleveland, to the infamous acquittal of a man killing an unarmed black teenager a year ago in Florida. All of these unfortunate events hit close to home. An individual must have a brave heart and strong mind just to cope with the harsh reality of our society. It makes you ask the question Can I live?
The bible says in II Timothy 1:7, "For GOD did not give us a spirit of fear but a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind."
Poetic Thought:
No longer a democracy,
The new United States of hypocrisy,
The revolution continues to be televised,
Morals are on the decline as anger is on the rise,
Hard to receive love, if hate is what a person gives,
Seeking the best of life, asking only Can I live? ~ JD
There is an ole school rap song by the hip hop group Public Enemy back in the day called "Fight the Power".
This song and its sentiment speaks volumes to what men and women that are believers in Christ need to do. I'm speaking in regards to fighting the power of evil, injustice, and hypocrisy. We must be more proactive than reactive in this approach. If so it will ensure a more abundant life. Until next time, class dismiss!!!
