Martin Luther King Jr

  
                          
    
Racism - there is no place in this world for it and I think it honourable to stand up against it despite the fact that some people might go against you. We are all worthy of a place in this world and our race, creed, sexuality and beliefs shouldn't matter, we all deserve respect no matter who we are. 
In the past there had been many inspirational political and religious leaders; Martin Luther king jr, Mother Teresa, President Kennedy, John Lennon and Mahatma Gandhi. These leaders all fought for peace and equality, they fought for change against injustice, against racism and discrimination, against poverty and oppression, they stood up for what they believed in, they took a stand and made a difference in the world. They made history. 
Although racism and oppression and poverty and injustice still exist today, we have seen many positive changes and it was people like Martin Luther king that strove for that. He strove for freedom and change in an unjust world and with the inauguration of the first African American president, his dream came true. 
It was people like Martin Luther king that fought for people's rights and fought for equality and with the introduction of female bishops and same sex marriages, the people are free and his dream came true. 
But who leads us now, now that there is no Martin Luther king, there is no MotherTeresa, there is no John Lennon; who can compare to them now, who will keep the fire burning and fight for our injustices. Who can we look up to, who will inspire us and give us hope? Where are all the Martin Luther king's, where are all the the Mother Teresa's of our time?

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Gods love

  He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you.

Dark days!

          Sometimes we think the Lord will never bless us. We have lost hope, have given up, are stuck in a rut and can't or won't move forward and given up even trying. Some of us give up on our relationships, give up trying to make things right, give up on having a better life.  We all have dark days, days when we just can't seem to get anything right, we all suffer from broken hearts, loss, go through some really difficult times in our lives but it's important to struggle on and fight, to never crumble but to be strong and remain in christ. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.    We may choose not to notice that God is blessing our lives because it's easier to live like there is no hope, it's easier to put the blame onto others, blame society for our failings so that we don't have to  look to ourselves to see how bad things are. We choose to deny the good things, we choose to ignore the positives, we choose to be blind to Gods...
