Love n Politics

.

As we end the month of Black history and Love.  It's only fitting to close with the President of the United States  Barack Obama. Since the day he announce his run for office his Faith in God has always been challenge .

President Barack Obama

Hebrews 10:24-25

King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

By the time Barack Obama began running for president in 2008, his journey his  faith was already well known. He had spoken often of a moment decades before at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago when he "felt God's spirit beckoning me" and "submitted myself to His will." It was a turning point in his life, he said, an embrace of the religious certainty that had eluded him in his earlier years.


President Obama's desire of Affordable Housing, Equality, Education,  Health Care ,Minimum Wage ,Social Security and Tax Reform must be God's Will. I bet you thought your job  was ruff. His  bold, honest in your face approach made people like , Donna, Nothrice and I work toward his vision. Like God's vision, he want's to level the playing field for all.
As the hardest working man in the free world it is obvious his secret weapon is the Love of his life.  First lady Michelle Obama.

Today when performing  your random act of kindness consider joining an organization that is going to work for all. Be a Blessing. Give a Blessing of service!

Loving Savior

Since the beginning of time we all have and will experience trials and tribulations.  God's intention is not to punish you. God's goal is to remind you of his everlasting love.

Psalm 17:7

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

Tyler Perry is a fantastic reminder how important family is in our lives . Dysfunctional or Functional as children they provide a powerful impact in our lives.


Tyler Perry

Perry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, as Emmitt Perry, Jr., the son of Willie Maxine Perry (née Campbell) and Emmitt Perry, Sr., a carpenter.^[11] He has three siblings. ^[12] Perry once said his father's "answer to everything was to beat it out of you".^[13] As a child, Perry once went so far as to attempt suicide in an effort to escape his father's beatings. In contrast to his father, his mother took him to church each week, where he sensed a certain refuge and contentment.^[13] At age 16, he had his first name legally changed from Emmitt to Tyler in an effort to distance himself from his father.^[14]
Many years later, after seeing the film Precious, he was moved to relate for the first time^[15] accounts of being molested by a friend's mother at age 10; he was also molested by three men prior to this, and later learned his own father had molested his friend.^[16]

While Perry did not complete high school, he earned a GED.^[17] In his early 20s, watching an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, he heard someone describe the sometimes therapeutic effect the act of writing can have, enabling the author to work out his or her own problems. This comment inspired him to apply himself to a career in writing. He soon started writing a series of letters to himself, which became the basis for the musical I Know I've Been Changed.^[18]

You can tell Tyler Perry was blessed to have a praying mother that taught him about the love of God.  Unlike many people today that thinks their family owes them something for the pain they have experience, Tyler Perry learned how to turn a negative into a positive.  Most of Tyler Perry's work has a message base around family issues.
 When you perform a random act of kindness think about a family member. Be a Blessing give a
Blessing of encouragement.

Love and Share

I hope you have notice the impact God has made in the individuals  mention this month.

Deuteronomy 6:5-7

King James Version (KJV)



⁵ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
⁶ And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
⁷ And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Gabby Douglas

Douglas is a Christian. Douglas has spoken about her faith saying, "I believe in God. He is the secret of my success. He gives people talent”^[51] and "... I love sharing about my faith. God has given me this amazing God-given talent, so I'm going to go out and glorify His name."^[52] Douglas' mother says her name means 'God's abled-bodied one'.^{[53]
Outstanding! God is the wind beneath her wings. Gabby's mom did a great job teaching her about having Faith in God.
Today as you perform a random act of kindness share with someone where your good comes from.  Don't be scared. Be a Blessing. Give a Blessing!}

Sharp Love!

 

 I have mention this before it is perfect timing that we celebrate Black History and the month of love at the same time. As a messenger Paul was honored to spread God's desire of love and Peace. He received his orders thru Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 13:11

King James Version (KJV)

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Rev. Al Sharpton is one of God's greatest messengers. You got to love him.  Rev Al will make most people think on issues that they won't think about for ourselves. Stand Your Ground Law, Treyvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Minimum Wage, Voter Registration,Racial Profiling, Poverty, Education, Troy Davis, Birth Control , Justice and Civil Rights are just a few causes he has taken a stand for. From my view point Martin Luther King pass the baton of Civil Rights and Justice to Rev. Al Sharpton and he ran with it. It is a honor to listed to Rev. Sharpton speak on social issues but when he brings it home and talk about our purpose in life and family you need to think. 

Black Youth Project 100 (BYP 100) is an activist member-based organization of black 18-35 year olds, dedicated to creating justice and freedom for all black people through building a collective focused on transformative leadership development, non-violent direct action organizing, advocacy and education. The organization trains young activists how to lead grassroots campaigns and mobilizes young leaders on topics such as women’s issues, LGBT rights, mass incarceration and police brutality.

Today when you perform a random act of kindness think about Rev. Al Sharpton broaden someone's social consciousness . Be Bless give a Blessing of hope!

Predestin Love

God so love us all we were predestine to all of his rich's thru Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:5-7

King James Version (KJV)



⁵ Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

   The NAACP Image Awards is the nation’s premier multi-cultural awards show.  The event celebrates the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts (television, recording, literature, motion picture and writing & directing), as well as those individuals or groups who promote social justice through their creative endeavors.



 No matter what the GOP,KKK,Koch Bros and Mitt Romney think. We have all been gifted thru Jesus Christ for greatness. While performing your random act of kindness remember the diffrence between the have and have not's is the thought in your heart and head. Be Blessed and give a Blessing!

Brotherly Love

Since the new year when you made your resolutions and I told you the promises God made to all . When he created man God provided the world with an assortment. Yes it was God's desire to have us live in harmony. You should have a good idea God is all about equality, love and peace.

Psalm 55:12-16

King James Version (KJV)

Malcolm X

¹² For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
¹³ But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

Before Malcolm X death he was influence by the mission of Jesus Christ.

QUOTES BY MALCOLM X

"A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything"."
"We are nonviolent with people who are nonviolent with us.

"There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time."

"We didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us."

 

"Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks."

"If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary." 

 

Don Lemon can be seen on CNN or heard on Tom Joyner's morning show weekly.  He is seen or heard by millions weekly.  Don recently address young men wearing sagging pant's, education and important social issues minorities tend to shy way from.  I love him because he delivers powerful messages that we need to address in our communities.

 

Don Lemon and Malcolm X ability to get in your face is needed in our society to address some very important social issues within the Black Community. Don Lemon does address Black on Black issues.
 After his return from Mecca and learning the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Malcolm X rededicate his Love to God.  Mecca taught Malcolm X all men are equal. Important fact that some would say cause his death .

Today like in the 60's we still have bridges over trouble waters we need to rebuild in the Black community. No one sings it better than Aretha Franklin.





 

Today when you perform a random act of kindness remember Malcolm X .  His journey was to equip you with the knowledge of equality and justice is for everyone. Luv is.

Luv is!

My family and friends reminded me on Facebook the gift of love is developed and nurture at birth.

Leviticus 19:18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁸ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
Sharon Johnson stated "wow what diversity".
 
Today as you perform a random act of kindness show some love. Remember what ever you want more of you got to give more of.  Be Blessing give a Blessing!

God's purpose

Psalm 139:6



King James Version (KJV)

⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
God's purpose for us is to be filled with knowledge. 

Many of our HBCUs began around the spirit of God.

Historical Black colleges also known as HBCUs were established in response to the increase in the number of escaped slaves, who were considered a contraband of war during the Civil War if they managed to reach union lines, followed by the eventual passing of The Emancipation Proclamation. Public universities in the South were not integrated at the time.


Spelman College founded in 1881 by 2 black women with 100.00 began as a female seminary.
Howard University first students were white,Tuskegee University began under the leadership of Booker T Washington, Mary Mcleod Bethune and all HBCUs recognize the need to succeed.  This a powerful little known fact that should be pass down to future generations.

Step out on Faith  and believe I can do all things thru Christ that strengthen me.  As a random act of kindness let a young person know the power of Faith is built within and anything is possible.  Be a Blessing dis[play a Faith filled spirit.

Family Values

Psalm 68:6

King James Version (KJV)

⁶ God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

As children we begin to value our parents because they provide our basic needs. Out of love we learn how to care and share. Most parents like mine valued the opportunities  the Civil Rights Movement provided like education and employment. They wanted us to take advantage an exceed their standard of living.

ML King children represent many families in America. They have no emotional or spiritual value of Dr. King's Nobel Peace Prize or the Family Bible. Please don't sell it on E-bay.

MLK Estate Wants His Daughter To Give Up Nobel Peace Prize

Genesis 12:3King James Version (KJV)
³ And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

As parents we should never underestimate power of prayer in everyday living. This is a great way to establish our own value system by putting God first. When our children see us practice God's principles they will learn by example.  As parents we are the first line of defense to social challenges.
If more families would practice God's principles we would see less family violence like the Atlanta shooting.  5 family members dead.

Today as you perform a random act of kindness think about your  family values .  Remember God will never give you more than you can bear.

Love!

John 3:16

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

¹⁶ “For God loved the world in this way:^[a] He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life.


The month of February is dedicated to Black History and Love. What a great combination. As a

Lionel Richiehttps://youtu.be/E62ZfiHiCYc

civil rights activist you must have love in your heart to withstand such inhumane treatment to fight for equal rights. First you need to love yourself. We learn to love as children from our parents. The bad, good and ugly sides of love begin at home. Why do we love? That is what God intended for us.  He sent his son Jesus Christ to teach us to live in love and peace.



Today do a  self exam and see how much you love yourself. What standard of living have you set for yourself? As you perform a random act of kindness today people will see you have love in your heart.  Be Blessed!
