Mlk Day

Part of the speech of Martin Luther King
Bless Him for seeking God and better life
Song by Blind Boys of Alabama 

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.

I am from Alabama and was born about 10 years after his assassination. I went to a mixed school and I am so happy this was achieved.
To be able to look past color and all just want to get along. The Love of God flowing through MLK to want to achieve this dream should leave one in awe.
That he just seeked to be equal. To show love to those who hate.
And I  wander how this ever came to be from future generations before me . This hate one day has got to be seen it's source is Satan, that is out to destroy, cause division and kill. 
I am sure MLK would be happy in the progress 
which has taken place. But now we even have bigger problems it seems with black on black, white on white, black on white. every race , religion I can't leave any out, even down to own households and most importantly oneself.
If one has hate dwelling within for anyone really, they should seek the source from within that is out to destroy ones soul. I saw alot of hatred growing up but something inside within could not go along with it. I have found it's the promise of the spirit from Jesus all our souls are longing for peace ,love and joy. When this love comes within you will just love all and pray that another could be transformed into a Child of God. If God could just dip this earth in the living water all at once and give this world an awakening to start over. Surely, I can't be the only one thinking this. This  whole world  in a whole is out of chaos. Let's pray for the spirit promised pours out across this earth that's available in this moment for a dying world. We just need some walking around for other to say I want what's it this one within.
Seek Jesus to separate old self and place that in the grave to receive new spiritual body.
We can not be good in our own will but when we give up the fight within we shall find rest, peace , love and joy in abundance.

Alexis Y. February 2, 2023 at 10:02 PM WoW! Stephan, You have penned such a well-written tribute to MLK. He was an extraordinary witness and light for God. I agree with the message of this write. Wouldn't it be something if God could " dip the whole world in the living water all at once"? Well said. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis Stephan McBride February 3, 2023 at 8:11 AM Lol, yeah we need to all be dipped in the living water at once, this world is like the opposite of what God wants but that's why He sent Jesus to give us a way out : ). May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His love, peace, spirit and joy in abundance

Victor Buhagiar January 16, 2023 at 11:05 PM Such a pity we seem never to get rid of racism totally. We are ignoring God everyday Great write. Stephan McBride January 17, 2023 at 5:43 AM All glory to God, indeed we are seeing the effects of rejecting God all around us , He revealed to me how wretched and bad I am in my own will, so many just get caught up in this world and only God shall pull one away from this to reveal,it's like watching the beast just taking over everyone and most do not see the source
